Thanks for the balanced view, Brian.
I sometimes wonder if a lot of 'us and them' has been created post-war by writers who are keen to rewrite history and/or sell their books.
Certainly, 'in the air', I know from comments of both 8th AF and Bomber Command veterans that each had a very real appreciation of the dangers faced by the other.
