About 10 o`clock Bader was curing his gloom with some aerobatics not far from the airfield when he saw two Bulldogs taking off and remembered that two of the pilots, Phillips and Richardson, were flying over to Woodley Aerodrome near Reading to see Phillips` brother... Bader tagged on to make a threesome, and half an hour later they settled on the grass in a neat vic at Woodley. In the clubhouse some young pilots, drinking coffee and talking shop as usual, asked Douglas, the Hendon star, questions about aerobatics, and then someone suggested he give a demonstration beat-up of the airfield. Bader said, no, he didn`t want to. The Hendon show had been in a gamecock and the Bulldog was not quite the same... The matter was dropped until they were leaving and a young man suggested it again. Bader again said no, and someone grinned and made some barbed joke about being `windy`. He made it sound like a dare. Richardson took off first, and then a tight-lipped, angry Bader. As soon as he left the ground Bader was banking steeply, turning back, and slanting down for a low run across the field... He had the stick well over... a little top rudder to hold the nose up... stick forward to keep it up and as she rolled upside down throttle back to keep the engine alive. He felt her starting to drop. Stick hard over now; the wings were vertical, glinting in the sun, and she was dropping fast. Grimly he was reefing her round and she was rolling out of it fast when the left wing-tip hit the grass and jerked the nose down. As propeller and cowling exploded into the ground the engine tore out, bouncing in a cloud of flying dirt, and the Bulldog seemed to crumple and cartwheel into a tangle very fast. Pinned by his straps, Bader did not feel anything but heard only a terrible noise. All the airfield was suddenly still, except for the fierce boil of dust round the awkward heap in the middle that looked like crushed brown paper... ` (From Reach for the Sky, by Paul Brickhill, 1954).
