Following in his father's footsteps, Ben became a fighter pilot in the RAF at the age of 17. His career lasted for four years, until his honourable discharge in 1932. Since then, he's been working in the ever growing field of commercial air traffic, piloting both passenger and cargo aircraft around Europe and the USA. While he loves flying, he's becoming increasingly bored with the rather mundane jobs he's been taking of late. Ben hopes the Bermuda Clipper represents the last of these routine flights, as he plans to meet with a group of explorers who need a pilot to supply their trip into the Amazonian rainforest at the plane's destination.
Ben is an enthusiast for life, wishing for excitement and adventure at every turn. The last couple of years have been somewhat depressing for him, the sheer ordinariness of the flights he was making starting to weigh down his explorer's spirit. But with the prospect of the Amazonian trip ahead of him, he's back to his buoyant and optimistic best. After all, what could go wrong now...
Of average build and height, Ben doesn't really stand out in a crowd. Those that get to know the handsome pilot learn that he's quiet and well spoken, but has an undercurrent of dry wit that caused him problems with his superiors more than once while serving in the RAF. He tends to look uncomfortable at social events, with his discomfort directly linked to the formality of the dress code.
