Good point - I constantly remind people that Guy Gibson, for instance, was 24 when he led 617 Squadron to the dams.

Memoirs of the Battle of Britain often remind us that the RAF pilots weren't aware that they were 'saving civilisation' or whatever - 'we were just little John Waynes who couldn't wait to let rip with our eight Brownings...' ( Paddy Barthropp )
