We're in danger of getting a bit precious here.
I thoroughly enjoyed "The Dambusters", Richard Todd was a fine, cinematic, Gibson.
But I do recognise that it had elements of propaganda mixed with hero puffing. It is cinema after all - entertainment always manipulates inconvenient or boring realities.
And I agree with ORAC about the ages of the participants.
"Nigger" is almost certainly an unnecessary distraction in this day and age. "Nidge" will do me.
What is being proposed is not a documentary.

Have always held a WODs word in some esteem. From days of
"yes sir. Whatever sir" to the big jump and
"yes, I will get a new garrison cap, Mr xxxx thanks for the advice and the compliments".
Deighton's Bomber was a fine book
. Read
"Goodbye Mickey Mouse".
