Hayley's Yesterday Today

This is my great grandfather's RAF (Royal Air Force) officer's uniform and it is 69 year's old. He flew in World War Two from 1940 to 1945. He flew lots of different planes. He even taught pilots to fly gliders in the D-day landings. His cap is very dirty as it was uncool to have a clean cap.

Your great grandad must have had many great stories to tell of his time in the RAF. Those pilots were very brave men. Do you know much about what happened on D-day?
