Being born in Germany in the years after the end of World War II, young Joseph B. was almost doomed to participate in the second. Or – being self-condemned – volunteering for the German air force. In 1944, his plane was destroyed in the expanses of the Crimea, and the story of his survival and salvation becomes a legend: Boys argues that after the fall (and a few days lying in the snow Crimean) Tatars found, wrapped in animal fat and felt and thus saved certain death.

During the study, as before, and after them, Boys earned his living mainly by selling his drawings. A collection of 327 drawings created 40s and 50s is shown in 1974 as part of an exhibition at four locations: Oxford, Edinburgh, Dublin and Belfast.
