Many thanks for posting this, E.Campbell : it really is a remarkable effort. It's very well done and a fine tribute to one crew - and in its way, all crews of Bomber Command.

It also links nicely with many subjects discussed recently on these forums : from the prominent copy of 'A Thousand Shall Fall' to the fact that also active in the night skies over Europe on that night was Lt. Fries who was in England last week...

It comes as a relief at the end of the film that so many of the crew survived with the sad exception of Bob Giffen ; so often, no crewmembers survived such an attack.

It's possible that the Lancaster was a victim of NJG.2 : Bomber Command sent two forces to Germany that night and many Luftwaffe aces increased their scores, including such names as Becker, Schnaufer and Lent.

Dangerous skies, indeed.
