Leslie Curtis Glover - a short autobiography
In Storage Archives
Spitfire pilot Plt Off Leslie Glover of No. 26 Squadron was in direct radio communication with Royal Navy warships as he flew from 10,000 ft over Normandy during D-Day.
The directions of Glover and other RAF pilots enabled the Royal Navy to fire more accurately against German positions than would otherwise have been possible. This naval bombardment provided much-needed heavy artillery support for troops landing on the beaches.
