Wing
Commander Geoffrey Page had no business risking life and limb at low level
in a Spitfire in the maelstrom of D-Day and the heavy fighting that
followed. On 12th August 1940, during the height of the Battle of
Britain, he had been shot down in his Hurricane in flames. Page
scrambled out of the inferno, baling out into the sea, but his burns were
so severe he spent most of the next two years in hospital undergoing skin
grafts. Most would have called it a day, but not the young
Page. Showing the hallmark determination common among fighter
pilots, he was back in the air by the spring of 1943. Immediately
successful, on 29th June he and another pilot shot down 6 enemy aircraft
in one ten minute encounter and by the following summer he was given
command of 125 Wing. By D-Day Geoffrey Page commanded 132 Squadron's
Spitfires, taking an active role in the invasion, and the heavy fighting
in the weeks that followed.
