the guts, courage they showed was amazing
I remember several conversations with my uncle on how hard it was to climb on board once you got to 20, 21, 22 ... missions - and how some just could not bring themselves to do it despite their guts and courage.
He had lots of stories - the barrage of flack as you crossed the coast of France, the attacking fighters, getting lost over Germany with a new navigator - brave men indeed!
But also lots of demons after the war, what with firebombing Cologne etc - eventually turned him to drink.
So great to see a survivor still flying the Tiger Moth - more power to him!
