Guy Gibson Remembered

That begs the question of when you were born.

And to be honest even his own autobiography has tragic elements of hypocrisy.

He decries the targeting of population centres or actions that lead directly to suffering of the civilian population and then seems totally fine with the massive devastation caused by Operation Chastise.

He was a highly skilled pilot, and a very capable leader, but oft you find your heroes are very human.
