Douglas Bader
Sir Douglas Bader was a hero of his time, and continues to be an inspiration to those who know their history. Agree entirely with JGC's sentiments. Bader is a man truly worthy of idol status, however I fear with a 'dumbing down' of education, in particular history involving conflict in the 20th century, heros such as he will blend into the annals of history along with the other greats.
