Stuart Walch-Hurricane pilot, known as the father of his squadron. Dick Glyde DFC-Hurricane pilot who flew in the Battle of France and died on Eagle Day. John Crossman-Hurricane pilot, all he wanted to do was fly. Desmond Sheen DFC-Spitfire pilot and first Australian to engage the enemy in combat. Baled out twice, and survived. James Coward-Spitfire pilot of 19 Squadron and 'adopted' Australian who lost a leg in the Battle.
