Our new Hurricane exclusive is a tribute to242 Squadron and in particular a very special pilot, who refusedto let a life changing accident stop him from fighting for his country.
Group Captain Bader was a Royal Airforce flying Ace, with 22confirmed aerial victories, 4 shared victories, 6 probable victories and 11enemy aircraft damaged. What makes this even more remarkable is that WingCommander Bader was flying as a double amputee, enduring the removal of both ofhis legs. Having survived a daring stunt previously, he refused to begrounded. After being retired from the RAF due to medical grounds here-enlisted and returned to the RAF at the outbreak of the Second World War.The spirit of resilience, skill and bravery made Group Captain Bader one of thefinest and most inspirational pilots of WW2.
