About this listen

Air Commodore Cozens was more than a highly accomplished RAF pilot — he was also a filmmaker whose work helped shape the war effort.

From the frozen extremes of the British Arctic Air Route Expedition, where his photography and film earned him the Polar Medal, to wartime footage so sensitive it was locked away under the Official Secrets Act, Air Commodore Cozens was always at the heart of history. His Arctic film Northern Lights even reached the big screen in London’s West End.

Join us for a fascinating and deeply heart-warming conversation with his daughter, Harriet, as she shares memories of an extraordinary life.
