posted on 2024-06-05, 18:14 authored by Their Finest Hour Project TeamUncle Bill was not only Britain's first Air Ace, but he also led the attack that sank the first major battleship, the Konigsberg, and developed the art of dive bombing to be more accurate in the short time (20 minutes) he had flying over Norway. I have all his photographs and archives from birth to death.
