Wing Commander Alan Geoffrey Page, OBE, DSO, DFC*.
WWII Royal Air Force fighter pilot and post-war founder of the Battle of Britain Trust.
Recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) in 1943 and a bar to his DFC in 1944, appointed a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) in 1944, and appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1995.
My English aunt’s cousin was badly burned in a crash and was a member of the Guinea Pig Club at Queen Victoria Hospital. She lost contact with him after the war, so in the name of research, I’m back to reading books with fighter planes on the cover like in first grade!
(Alan didn’t make an appearance, but it was interesting enough.)
