Behind the scenes

Torchwood website

The series 1 version of the Torchwood website contained a couple of articles from the Cardiff Examiner.

Yanks for Britain!

An article from the Cardiff Examiner.

An article from 21 November 1940 edition of the Cardiff Examiner relating to Captain Jack Harkness.[1]

The story is quoted below:

Every Englishman has done his bit to repel the Luftwaffe. But he's not been alone. The RAF has been glad of expert help from America, young men only too glad to fight to defend a soil not their own.
One such soul is Captain Jack Harkness, currently with the 133rd Squadron. Captain Harkness is responsible for bringing down 36 planes in the past few months - an achievement that's done a lot towards keeping our skies clear.
Also worthy of mention is the work of Captain Robert Silver of the 71st Squadron.

Sweetheart Proud of Slain Hero

An article from the Cardiff Examiner.

A further article from 7 January 1941 edition of the Cardiff Examiner relating to Captain Jack Harkness.[2]

The story is quoted below:

CARDIFF: Nancy Floyd (23) of Grangetown told reporters yesterday how proud she is of her fallen fiance, American pilot Captain Jack Harkness (29).
Captain Harkness, of the 133rd Squadron, was tragically killed while single-handedly defending Cardiff from a German bombing raid last week.
The American hero sent his training mission back and remained to see off the enemy craft, knowing the mission was hopeless - but he prevailed.
"He gave his life for us." Miss Floyd said yesterday. "We loved each other, and wanted to spend our future together, but he died instead, giving everyone a future. I'll never forget him."
