I am Prince George, Duke of Kent, I was a member of the British royal family, the fourth son of King George V and Queen Mary. I was a younger brother of kings Edward VIII and George VI. Prince George served in the Royal Navy in the 1920s and then briefly as a civil servant. I became Duke of Kent in 1934. In the late 1930s, I served as an RAF officer, initially as a staff officer at RAF Training Command and then, from July 1941, as a staff officer in the Welfare Section of the RAF Inspector General's Staff. I was killed in the Dunbeath air crash on 25 August 1942.
