Sorry Bletchly,I am in Jacko's corner! I feel you are getting a little too strident in your defence of a campaign that in all reality never achieved what Harris wanted to! And it is quite obvious that he knew this but carried on!
I agree with everyone else that Bomber Command has been grossly unfairly treated by history and that for a long period of the war BC was the only way to take the fight to the enemy!
I have nothing but admiration for all those who fought in BC at that time and although I am from a generation too far removed to know nothing about but what I read and hear on a sandbag! I will be forever gratefull to our fathers and grandfathers who had no choice.
