Welcome to the Dis A fi mi History podcast, where we delve into the intertwining worlds of history, family lineage, and the narratives of the Caribbean people. In this episode, host Wendy Aris is joined by Russell Smith, a PhD candidate and published author, to explore the contributions of African and Caribbean volunteers in the Royal Air Force during the World Wars.
Russell, who has an extensive background in historical research, sheds light on the motivations, challenges, and significant achievements of these courageous individuals. He discusses the notable figures who rose above racial inequalities to serve and protect, often rewriting their own destinies in both wartime and their subsequent civilian lives.
Tune in to learn about unknown pilots and ground crew who defied the odds, the legacy of the Empire Windrush, and the ongoing impact of these stories on both British and Caribbean societies today. This episode invites listeners to reflect on the resilience and duty demonstrated by these volunteers and what it means for modern-day service and community narratives.
