Between 1945 and 1963, more than 2.5 million 18-year-olds were
called up for National Service. Alf Townsend was one of them, and
here he tells his story - the highs and lows of life as a lowly
Aircraftman Second Class in the early 1950s. Before national
service intervened, Alf was 'heading down the criminal road at top
speed', having grown up in a north London slum, where money was
short and local villains were revered. Bad Lads is a warts-and-all
account of Alf's time in the RAF, when he was transplanted into a
completely new world of misfits and officer types, rogues and
entertainers, all amusingly described in his own inimitable style.
