During the BBC's recent coverage of the Battle Of Britain I watched an interview done in 1965 of Douglas Bader, in it He admitted that if it wasn't for His leg amputations he would not have had the fame that he enjoyed and also said that he was no better than any other Fighter Pilot of that time. I have read a lot about him in "Wikipaedia" which did cover most of what I wanted to know. It is a shame that his "Big Wing" theory perhaps was not popular with most of the other Pilots and is it that theory that made him unpopular with other pilots and of course the treatment of Air Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding and Air Vice Marshal Keith park?.
