GF, you are right, it would be fascinating although I think we would prefer to talk with Firebar and Flaggon aircrew.
I did try to establish a contact with Indonesian airmen. I got a good contact who, bless my soul, pointed me to a British academic who had researched the area and come up with what I needed (almost).
I think the area of counter-factual history might be an area for Dr Alf Price to research. His speciality is the face-to-face interview etc. He helped Len Deighton research Bomber and then went on to do this with non-fiction works interviewing bomber crews and Luftwaffe opponents.
He did a similar work with Jeffrey Ethel for the Falklands.
