Sergeant James Allen Ward
Sergeant James Allen Ward, was the first airman to receive the VC. He dared to be out there, I'm pretty sure he knew that he was going to get wounded, but he still was very braved and saved his life. If you don't know what happened then let me explain when his Vickers Wellington bomber was set alight by an enemy fighter plane, Ward climbed out onto the burning wing and smothered the fire. He could barely walk, then two months later he was killed.

Hi again Kotipi, well done on completing yet another activity! That is an incredible story about such a brave soldier. Thank you for explaining it so carefully. Could you imagine yourself in a war, what role do you think you would have? Would you fly a plane or be on the ground?
