Recollections of Niels Bohr ty R V. Jones
C.B., C.B.E., F.R.S.
Niels Bohr was first known in Denmark as a footballer, but when ho died five years ago he was one of the foremost figures of the heroic age of nuclear physics. Professor Jones speaks of his associations with Bohr after he was brought to this country from enemy-occupied Denmark in the bomb bay of a Mosquito, during which he was almost suffocated because he did not hear the command to turn on the oxygen— his head was too big to take the headphones.
