Greatest Flying Ever?
Having decided a few days ago (6 Jun actually) that I really didn't know a lot about the Second World War. I decided to pack my bags and toodle off to France for a quick weekend stop. I flashed around a couple of the battlefileds and famous sites. On reaching Pegasus Bridge and now having read the facts I am astonished at the feat of skill displayed to land the gliders within 50m of the target at night in poor weather, unpowered and using only compass and stopwatch for aids thus allowing the bridge to be captured in 10 or so minutes. It's described by many as the greatest feat of flying of WWII but is it? Do you think it can it be considered as 'better' than the skill shown by 617 Sqn for example during their most 'famous hour?
PS This is not the subject of my ICSC Essay just looking for some good ole debate!
