Thanks for the anecdote re Bomber Harris, wuh. Perhaps now that his old lags are properly commemorated, after too many years by far, it might be time to restore his reputation amongst his own Service if nowhere else. The pride that the Royal Air Force has rightly expressed since WW2 over the subject exploits of this thread was not similarly expressed over those of Main Force, when almost every night was one of Maximum Effort.
I am the first to concede that it is like comparing an Épée to a Cudgel, but both had their uses and in this case one purpose, to win the war as quickly as possible.
