First Light
Geoffrey 'Geoff'/'Boy' Wellum joins the RAF at the age of 18 in May 1940, believing the RAF requires every soldier to combat the Luftwaffe. He quickly bonds with his squadron's flying guys after undergoing rigorous training. While danger abounds in the air, beverages, sports, and girls, in Geoff's case Sarah, provide much solace on the ground. However, over time, the casualties exact a torturous psychological toll, until his 18-month tour of duty concludes.
