Life
- Educated at Cheltenham College and the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, the Author joined the Royal Engineers in 1919. Three years later he transferred to the Royal Air Force where he remained until his retirement in 1946. He served in the aircraft carriers Hermes and Eagle in the Home, Mediterranean and China stations. In 1932 he formed the No. 803 Fleet Fighter Squadron. From 1938 to 1940 he commanded No. 50 Bomber Squadron. In 1941 he became Senior Training Officer at Kirkham and Cosford. From 1942 to 1945 he was appointed Flying Accident Investigator, first in Bomber Command and later in India. In the last year of his service he commanded RAF Hakimpet, Secunderabad. During the later years of his service, his thorough investigations and candid comments produced a number of clashes with the authorities.[4]
He was author of the 1956 pamphlet Deadlier Than The H-Bomb (1956). The work is largely a focus on the Jews in Britain and Europe and their manipulation of finance and world affairs. In November 1961, Young gained further notoriety for the League of Empire Loyalists (LEL) when he threw a bag of sheep guts at the President of Kenya, Jomo Kenyatta.
