Winston Churchill the Pilot
I originally posted this in Jet Blast but on reflection thought that it may be more appropriate here.
In today's Telegraph accompanying S/L Neville Duke's obituary there is a photograph of Duke with Winston Churchill who is in full fig as a senior RAF officer (don't know what rank) with many rows of medal ribbons and the RAF pilots' brevet.
I know that as a young man he was commissioned into the Army and fought at Omdurman so I am assuming the RAF rank is honorary. But when and where did he earn his wings or are they honorary too?
