"High Flight" has become an aviator's anthem, and an epitaph. Its author, Pilot Officer John Gillespie Magee Jr., was an American serving with the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Battle of Britain in 1941, when he reached out "and touched the face of God."
Magee was born in Shanghai, China, in 1922, the son of missionary parents. His father was an American and his mother was originally a British citizen. He came to the United States in 1939 and earned a scholarship to Yale, but in September 1940 he enlisted in the RCAF. He was only 18. He entered flight training and within a year was sent to England and posted to the newly formed No. 412 Fighter Squadron, RCAF at Digby, England.
