We wrap up Season 5 with the gentleman historian Sebastian Cox. Seb just retired from we won't say how many years as Head of the Royal Air Force's Air Historical Branch. Long active in the UK, European, and American official history communities as well as rarely missing a Society for Military History conference over the past 30+ years, Seb came to airpower history by happenstance after doing a thesis on the Vietnam War at King's College, London. A random job application to the RAF Museum at Hendon began what would become an over forty-year career with RAF history. We've wanted to get Seb on for a while now, so we're glad to finally chat with him.

Join us for our delightful chat with Seb Cox - we'll talk having a grandfather who was a concientious objector in the First World War, a father who served in Europe during the Second World War, growing up building Airfix kits and watching 633 Squadron on telly, establishing the Bomber Command Memorial in London, RAF casualty reports from WW2, PG Tips tea, seeing The Who at Wembley Stadium, and receiving an O.B.E. at Buckingham Palace. Stories abound!

Thanks for the support - We'll start recording Season 6 later this summer!
