He looks much younger than he is - and when he relays that he fought in World War Two the first reaction is usually one of disbelief.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJack's experiences as an airman and Prisoner of War in World War Two make a remarkable story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJack Bell enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force at age 22.
