Auster Fan,
I agree about John Cunningham, but not Bob Braham, arguably the most decorated fighter pilot of WW2, he remains mainly unknown to the UK general public. If I did not have strong connections with 29(F) Sqn, I would never have heard of him. His medals and log books lie in a drawer in the RAF Museum, mainly unseen. Full credit to all these night fighter pioneers, pilots and navs alike.
