Thank you. I'm sure pilots were very prone to express their opinions. I suppose my question is really, what caused them to be listened to? One gets the impression that above the squadron level, the services were quite hierarchical in the 1940s, and information flowed in one direction only. Is this mistaken? Or did it take time for front line pilots to get promoted to more senior positions for their opinions to count? And, indeed, was the Navy different in this respect from the RAF?
