Bomber Harris

It is beyond belief that this hydra-headed calumny still resurfaces.

As one who was there at the time, I cannot do better than to quote from one of my Posts of long ago.

"Moreover, we were the only Service fully on the offensive. Bomber Command was hitting back, night after night, far harder, but in exactly the same way, as the enemy had bombed (and were still bombing) us in the "Blitz". Nobody felt the slightest guilt about it at the time - that was a luxury we could allow ourselves post-war, long after the danger was past".

It now seems that some "Gentlemen in England now a-bed" (Shakespeare: Henry V.) are positively wallowing in that luxury.
