Time Traveler Sir Victor Goddard

Sir Victor Goddard was one of the time travelers of the Great War. He was a highly decorated, knighted officer of the British Empire, whose self-confessed temporal journey is actually supported by government records.

It's one thing for an anonymous caller to join a late night radio show, and claim that he is a time traveler. It is another thing altogether, for a respected military flyer, to speak of his flight into the future and his subsequent return. The fascinating true story of Sir Robert Victor Goddard, concerns an Air Marshal who passed through a temporal vortex in the sky.

The military career of Victor Goddard spanned forty-one years of service. He began as a midshipman in the Royal Navy at the start of World War I. By 1915 Goddard had joined the Royal Naval Air Service. In the Battle of the Somme over three million men fought, and one million of them were either wounded, or perished. The battle lasted almost six months, and by the its end the Allies had succeeded in advancing their front line... by a distance of about six miles.

The reliability of the biplane was so poor, that the liklihood of suffering mechanical failure, was almost as high as the liklihood of getting shot down by the enemy. Across the English Channel in the northernmost corner of France, young Goddard began his air career flying reconnaisance over the Somme. At the end of his career, ten years after the next World War, he had received so many medals from so many nations, that there was not enough room for them on a regulation uniform.

In 1934 Air Marshal Goddard was relaxing between wars. He took a day trip by automobile, to visit in Scotland the landing field at Drem, one of those from which he had flown during the Great War. He knew the airfield was no longer maintained by the military and was curious as to its current suitability. He found the buildings in wretched disrepair. The roof of the officers mess was falling in. A farmer was using one hanger as a barn for his cattle. Another hangar was used as storage space for bales of hay. The field itself was now criss-crossed with fences of barbed wire to keep grazing sheep separated from grazing cows.

The next day the Air Marshal was flying a Hawker Hart in the same vacinity, while traveling from Edinburgh to Andover, England. He was suddenly enveloped by cloud and heavy rain. Goddard admits to losing control of his plane, plunging 8000 feet in less than a minute. After regaining control and freeing his aircraft from a death spiral, the fog was nowhere to be seen, and the earth was bathed in heavenly sunlight. He expected soon to pass over the airfield at Drem, and he did. But as he looked down, it was not at all as he remembered from the previous day.

The airfield was no longer fenced. The grass was evenly cut, and there was no livestock in sight. It appeared the area around the hangars was paved with fresh tarmac, and the hangars themselves bore shiny roofs in good repair, brightly reflecting the sun. Goddard was unfamiliar with the bright blue uniforms he saw worn by the mechanics below, but he was more surprised to see several odd-looking airplanes on the field, having but one pair of wings rather than two. The monoplanes were all painted the same color, in military fashion, although he had never known the air corps to paint their planes yellow. The men below did not look up, even though Goddard was flying only fifty feet over the roofs of their hangars. Then the sunshine disappeared, and his Hawker Hart flew back into the mist and dark rain.

Four years later the Drem airfield was rebuilt. It became a training school for U.K. military flyers. Blue overalls were issued as the new uniform for mechanics, and the new training aircraft, which had only one pair of wings, were all painted bright yellow. All the details matched exactly the vision of the future afforded to Victor Goddard. This was confirmed, by the report he filed four years earlier on his arrival at Andover.
