Berkshire's hero pilot
Douglas Bader flew Hurricanes and Spitfires during the Battle of Britain - all while missing both his legs after a flying accident on Woodley Airfield, now home to the Museum of Aviation.
On the anniversary of his birth, BBC Radio Berkshire's Phil Mercer went to the museum to learn more about him.
