The forgotten men

The forgotten men

Short poem praising the work of ground crew. Mentions hard work maintaining and fixing aircraft including fitters, riggers and armourers. Mentions pay is small. When you hear of the RAF's good deeds don't only think of the pilots and machines but give a thought to the boys on the ground.
