Guy Gibson, was in his very early 20's not only as commander and responsible for the lives of his bomber crew, but as commander of the whole Dam Busters squadron..
I cannot help but think of myself and contemporaries at age 20-24, and as such remain in complete awe of that generation. While 70% of Canadian bomber missions were flown in Halifax', my fathers friend was a Lanc pilot. Alas I was not quite interested enough at the time to ask more directly about his experiences, which of course as a teen, did not really comprehend...no thanks to Cdn history lesson in school.... sigh... in retrospect..if only... great film Stuart thanks for posting.
