A Lancaster bomber takes off in moonlight Hurricane a brief bit of research

a brief bit of research revealed to me that Valentine's Day has been associated with lovers for longer than I’d thought: apparently the first surviving romantic reference to St Valentine's Day was made by Geoffrey Chaucer in the late 14th century

in a survey conducted in 2004

The character was created by Dudley D Watkins

from the 1960s and 1970s

I tend to choose material from this era because it was the time I was growing up and my tastes and preferences were being formed
