First sentence: WHEN I was a child in the 1930s I was exposed through the newspapers and newsreels (the cinema was a great weekly treat) to all the exciting events that occurred in many sports  in aviation, motoring, stories concerning great ships and famous yachts, and in the breaking of speed records on land, in the air and on the ocean.
