Richard Foster tells Matthew about his father, Jack, an ace night fighter pilot who shot down nine enemy aircraft - three of them within 50 minutes!
Richard brings his father's log books to the interview and reads out reports of combats - as well as a crash in Libya.
After the war, Jack became a test pilot at Farnborough, exploring the possibilities of supersonic flight. He flew over 50 aircraft, including British, American, and captured German and Italian planes. His outstanding flying talents - and his modesty - shine out of the discussion.
