There are many very striking photographs of aircrew marrying, resplendent in their best uniforms, often surrounded by other crew members. Many of these marriages were all too short-lived, often leaving a heart-broken widow pregnant with her dead husband’s child. One such was Edith Skinner, who lost her husband Jack over the Dutch island of Texel in January 1944. Eaton-Clarke and his new wife were fortunate and had a long happy life ahead of them.
