If it wasn't for the deep snow, the fall would have killed him
Leslie Goldwyn was born in 1923 in Fulham. He joined the RAF at the age of 18, where his natural ability as a mathematician was noticed and he was trained as a navigator. He served on pathfinder flights, one of the most dangerous roles during the war. Of the 50 men who trained with him, only 3 survived the war.
