The son of a Major of the Royal Engineers, Douglas Robert Steuart Bader was born on February 21st 1910 in St. John’s Wood, London. Educated at St. Edward’s School in Oxford, the aggressive Bader’s school years were most notable for his sporting achievements, particularly as a rugby player. He joined the RAF in 1928 as an officer cadet, having been selected for training as a pilot. His sporting prowess carried over into his embryonic military career where he represented the RAF at cricket as well as giving strong performances in both boxing and hockey. Graduating as a Pilot Officer in July 1930, Bader was sent to No.23 Squadron to fly Gloster Gamecock and Bristol Bulldog biplane fighters. Still the same aggressive, headstrong individual, Bader built up a reputation for unauthorized low level flying and dangerous aerobatics. Although often reprimanded for his lack of aerial discipline, Bader was nevertheless selected to represent the squadron at Hendon Air Show. His team was successful in 1931 but, whilst training for the 1932 Hendon Air Show, disaster struck. Bader’s Bulldog fighter struck the ground whilst attempting aerobatic maneuvers well below his authorized minimum height. The injuries he sustained resulted in both of his legs being amputated; one above the knee and one below.
