A truly amazing documentary. With the amount of constant stress, it's no wonder the guys looked much older than their early twenties!

From a personal perspective, it was inspiring to see what my Father (a Lanc W/Op) and my Mother (a WAAF in Intelligence) had to endure. My Mum used to dread looking daily at the wall charts showing which crews were presumed missing.

One poignant part where the commentator stated that the Lancasters rarely wore out, most of them only lasted 40 flying hours!

Thanks for posting ricardian!
