Meet Flight Lieutenant Adrian Boyd, one of the first pilots who met Mr. Jonny Vickers on snowy February night, and got an invitation to a job interview.

Adrian is recently retired from Royal Canadian Air Force and currently residing in London, renting a small apartment at Baker street. He is reluctant to speak about his life before the war, but a careful observer may pick up on his  slight Boston or New York accent. He is calm, quiet and composed, which contradicts the usual image of cocky dogfighter. The other obvious fact about Adrian is his heavy punch with left hand, which is very unusual for a pilot.

He is not a big conversationalist, but if needs must will squeeze enough French, German and English word to get him back to friendly lines. His service record, proves that he have done it at least three times.

What service record does not show, is his expert skill with a knife (origins of that skill he politely refuses to disclose) and ability to dance on the edge of disciplinary action more than once for various reasons and get away with that. Its without doubt, that if given more time at war, Adrian Boyd would become an ace with his incredible skill for aerobatics, cunning and hunters instincts multiplied on initiative on the edge of insubordination. However no military ever likes an independent hunters, regardless of their advertising. Adrian got his chance to shoot down 3 V-bombs before his squadron was assigned as close air support for troops in France and later in Germany. He made a significant amount of CAS missions during operations Market Garden and Ardennes offensive. 

Initiative in the air is probably the reason for Adrian being stuck as a Flying Officer for most of his war. He got promoted to Flight Lieutenant only before his retirement, on the grounds of reduction of RCAF presence in Europe. Despite this turn of event, "Wizard" decided to stay in London, and as you might expect he would not say why.
