Zero to Hero is unique in that it tells the story of Victor Roe,
one of the longest- serving RAF rear gunners with The Pathfinders
and in so doing, plots the rise of an 'institutionalised' lad from
a Boys' Home to a well-respected bomber aircrew member amongst
peers, who were an elite group of top class airmen and who all of
whom had a far better start in life than he did. In stories such as
this, it is not uncommon to find the words 'humble beginning'
describing the start in life that someone had. In Victor's case a
humble beginning would have been a huge step up from where he
started his short, but astonishingly praiseworthy life. One of nine
children born to two impoverished alcoholics-all of whom were
removed by the courts from their parent's custody by the age of
two-is hardly the start that would be attributed to a hero of the
RAF, but that was how Victor started. Victor was always determined
that with the advent of war, he would do his bit for his country,
no one can deny that he did that and more.
