Autorenporträt

Richard Rivaz volunteered for the Royal Air Force soon after the outbreak of the Second World War, but upon learning that at 32 he was too old to become a pilot, he instead trained as an air-gunner. In the summer of 1940 he joined 102 Squadron based at Driffield, where he became rear gunner in an Armstrong Whitworth Whitley piloted by Captain Leonard Cheshire.
