First Light
Geoffrey "Geoff"/ "Boy" Wellum joined the RAF in May 1940 at the age of 18, becoming the youngest ever Spitfire pilot. He thought the RAF needed every man to fight the Luftwaffe. After a lot of hard work, he quickly bonds with the pilots in his squadron. There is a lot of risk in the air, but drinks, sports, and girls like Sarah provide a lot of comfort on the ground. It takes a toll on his mental health over time, until his 18-month tour of duty is over.
