A great airman & leader in his own ego, but nowhere else
Here here...Bader was an arse. Not only have I read up about him in the past, but my Grandmother worked at the Air Ministry during the war and dealt personally with all the big names in the RAF many times, and has many stories about dealing with them (mostly positive)...but thought Bader was an arrogant tosser, or words to that effect.
If it were me choosing? I'd do Ray Hanna...check out Flying Lawyer's tribute thread and then you'll get some idea of how highly regarded he was (and still is).
