EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the indomitable spirit of Group Captain Sir Douglas Robert Steuart Bader, a true hero of the Royal Air Force (RAF) and British military history. Born in 1910, Bader made headlines when he defied the odds and continued his flying career after losing both legs in a plane crash in 1931. Despite his disability, Bader went on to become one of the RAF's most accomplished pilots, earning the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Distinguished Service Order during World War II. In this image, taken in the 1970s at Falmouth, Cornwall, Bader is seen enjoying a leisurely game of golf. The serene setting, with its lush greenery and picturesque fence, provides a stark contrast to the harrowing experiences of war. Despite his disability, Bader is seen gracefully swinging his golf club, a testament to his unyielding determination and resilience. Bader's story was immortalized in the 1956 feature film "Reach for the Sky," which starred Kenneth More as the legendary pilot. The film brought Bader's heroic exploits to a wider audience and cemented his place in British cultural history. This photograph is a poignant reminder of Bader's inspiring life and the many challenges he overcame, both on and off the battlefield.
