Pontius, that aside (and I have read some of Price's work) I think Tanker is referring to a 2 Group story of young Sergeants at first being shunned by the 'old sweats" and then being showed compassion after the horrendous losses they suffered on Blenheims. One part of Bomber I have always had a problem with ( and I cannot remember the exact detail, having read it some time ago),was when the hero? returns to the squadron some months after evading and is put on ops that night and is subsequently lost. That was not a scenario that would have existed at the time for various reasons.
