At 8 years old I won a book prize at school..."Early Aeroplanes" Living near an aerodrome (as we still routinely refered to them), this sparked my interest. Then came The Blue Max and another (and attrocius) film,  Roy Brown and the Red Baron. From there it steamrolled..Biggles, Reynold etc.
Later on I got into research.
Simple as that.

Not here are the goblets glowing,
Not here is the vintage sweet;
'Tis cold as our hearts are growing,
And dark as the doom we meet.
But stand to your glasses, steady!
And soon shall our pulses rise:
A cup to the dead already-
Hurrah for the next that dies!
