Friendly fire; B17 style!

[Peter Laidler]

No further comment from me re the incident in threads 8 and 9. Except that the coroners inquest took place at Oxford and some of the families were spitting blood and feathers at the media present regarding the pilots. All except one generous, quiet and reserved family who kept their counsel private. While not praising the bravery of the low level pilots, did not level one iota of criticisism towards them either*. They simply and quietly praised their son and told that he died a hero in their eyes, as a proud warrier in battle. And they were as proud as any proud parent should be.
* I expect that they simply grieved in private and not in public on TV
