One grandfather got a free tour of North Africa, keeping RAF aircraft
flying: probably not wise to tell him the war hadn't started at that
point. It was a pretty real war to him and the men around him.

(Another started the war a couple of days before the UK, but then he was
a pilot with the Polish Air Force. You _definitely_ wouldn't have wanted
to tell him there wasn't really a war on...)


To know war one must serve as a B-26 bombardier. I'm sorry, but your
grandfathers just aren't qualified.
