The above was the inscription in one of Barker’s books. Ralph Hammond Cecil Barker was born in Feltham on the 21st October 1917 and educated at Hounslow College before joined the editorial staff of Sporting Life in 1934, but later went into banking. Meanwhile, he had begun writing, and several of his sketches and scenes were produced in West End Revues. Ralph joined the RAF in 1940 as a wireless operator\/air-gunner and progressed his military career until 1961 when he retired voluntarily from the RAF to write full time. His first book,<\/span> ‘<\/span>Down in the Drink’<\/span><\/strong><\/em>,<\/a> was published in 1955, the first of many on the subject of military aviation. Barker left the RAF in 1961 to write full-time. He died on the 16th May 2011.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
