The Royal Navy of England hath ever been its greatest defense and ornament; it is its ancient and natural strength; the floating bulwark of the island.
But I felt it necessary to be part of the war effort and I enlisted in the Navy to be a flyer.
Neither the Army nor the Navy is of any protection, or very little protection, against aerial raids.
Before the BBC, I joined the Navy in order to travel.
I received my parents' permission and went into the Navy on June 3, 1941.
