Only a few weeks ago I visited the London Royal Airforce museum with my 10 year old nephew who loves planes. Up on the second floor is a beautiful photo of Captain Ball,  I felt compelled to find out.  The I discovered an amazing story and a beautiful and passionate man, a hero with a pure heart, "Those who are above petty selfish behaviors and act entirely for the sake of others and are incorruptible in their pursuits".
