Thanks, I am interested in the subject. My great uncle flew Lancaster bombers in WW2. He wasn't one for always retelling the old days to the young generation but one time he took me and my brother aside to tell us what it was like for the crews in those times. Going on a mission involved facing the prospect of death every time, the odds were not good, they didn't know when the next mission would come and they compensated for the stress by getting drunk a lot. His words came back to me with extra force when I read Catch-22 years later.
