Biography: 

Captain Warren seems like a well-to-do war veteran who has established himself comfortably in his home town; adults and children alike know him as "an ex-army flyer" who "was in the war" (185, 188), and he can afford to offer Jock his own overcoat when Jock's tears completely apart during the air show. He has an easy camaraderie with Jock, taking him to a café to talk and inviting him home to dinner; they apparently knew each other well enough "fourteen years ago" to take up immediate conversation upon meeting again (193). The limp he incurred during the war both links him to and distinguishes him from Ginsfarb, who also limps but apparently never fought in the war.
