===Military service=== As Wolstenholme was a member of the [[Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve]], he was soon [[Mobilization|called up]] at the outbreak of the [[Second World War]]. By 1941, he had qualified as a bomber pilot and was posted to [[No. 107 Squadron RAF|107 Squadron]], flying [[Bristol Blenheim]] Mk. IVs out of [[RAF Great Massingham]], [[Norfolk]]. At the start of 1943 he transferred to [[de Havilland Mosquito]] with [[No. 105 Squadron RAF|105 Squadron]], part of [[Air Vice-Marshal]] [[Don Bennett]]'s [[No. 8 Group RAF]] [[Pathfinder (RAF)|Pathfinder]] Group. Wolstenholme completed more than 100 highly hazardous sorties over [[Occupied Europe]] and in May 1944 was awarded the [[Distinguished Flying Cross (United Kingdom)|DFC]]. The following year, he won a Bar to his DFC for his continual bravery in raids on Germany in a period of exceptionally heavy [[night fighter]] activity. He finished the war as an acting [[squadron leader]], having spent its last stages working in the RAF's public relations department.
