Zero to Hero follows the short life of Victor Roe DFM, CGM, a child from an extremely dysfunctional family from poverty stricken beginnings in a Norwich slum. We plot his progress through council care in Norfolk, to a Boys Home in Northamptonshire and a training farm in Kent, through to RAF Pathfinder aircrew. It also sheds a little light on the social divides that split the UK in the early part of the 20th century.
