What a great comment... I spent much of the day interviewing vets - one chappie whom I'll interview properly next time is a very modest sort of a chap - flew Hueys in Vietnam and I recently found he'd been awarded the DFC so I asked him why... it was for several missions rescuing SAS guys in incredibly dangerous situations - hair raising stories and I think that sort of bravery deserves the VC. But such a matter-of-fact shy guy.

As for the B-17s - what a sound that must be - 4 Wright Cyclones at close quarters. Wow. Sounds like the G model with chin turret.
