Leigh Wade was a World War II aviator who served during the Allied air effort, a campaign that played a decisive role in the outcome of the war. Like many airmen of his era, Wade was part of the massive mobilization that brought together crews from across the Allied nations in support of bombing, reconnaissance, and training operations. Veterans such as Wade represent the human side of the air war, defined by skill, endurance, and shared risk. His autograph on a World War II–commemorative First Day Cover offers a direct personal link to that history.
