First Officer at 19 - well done!
However, without wishing to detract at all from his magnificent performance one of my former Royal Air Force colleagues flew Lancasters in the last war - you know 600 miles out and 600 back at night being shot at from the ground and shot at by night fighters , night after night- and suddenly realised that the average age of his crew was 19 yrs 5 months! He was 20 yrs 6 months as pilot in command - and the Lanc only had one pilot. Ah well - thank goodness those days are over.
