A few people have mentioned "Reach for the Sky", and I'll admit it was a good film for its day. What interests me though is Kenneth More's very sympathetic portrayal of Douglas Bader. I think it's true to say that Bader's reputation has suffered in the post war years. Is there anyone on here who actually knew him and would care to venture a comment? Chuck Yeager's had a bit of a roasting, so dont be shy, but not just repeated opinion - first hand if that's possible.
As an aside Kenneth More came to Marham when I was there to have a look round the Victors. One of the guys showing him round said to him that he seemed to be walking a lot better these days, and More had the good grace to laugh as though he'd never heard that one before.
