Likewise, although not directly personal.  My early days reading was mostly about 617 Squadron, Guy Gibson; Enemy Coast Ahead, etc.  My family were all army but I have a keen interest in aircraft and the RAF.  I stumbled by accident on a Mildenhall airshow, years ago, it was amazing, the US airmen all had BBQ stands and were dishing out real American burgers and hotdogs, we had a ball.
