WING COMMANDER WILF SIZER (DFC & BAR) - Having joined the RAF in 1938, he was already a Hurricane fighter pilot when War broke out, and therefore fought during the Fall of France and the Dunkirk Evacuation. He made several 'kills' during this period and was even shot down twice himself, the second occasion just South of Dunkirk on May 31st 1940 as he engaged a German formation bombing the troop filled beaches. During his own evacuation from Dunkirk, the steamer on which he was travelling was sunk by Stuka dive bombers. He went on to fight throughout the Battle of Britain, flew Spitfires in the North African Campaign and eventually commanded No. 93 Squadron during the Invasion of Sicily and beyond. There is plenty more information about his incredible career available online... Please see my other WW2 (and WW1) maps, documents, photos etc. (Seller's Ref - DW0523 / 90)
