I wish someone would make a really good film about Bomber Command and the night offensive. i don't mean a gung-ho thing - I mean something fully conscious of and representing what was happening to thousands of women and children on the ground and all the vicious ambivalence that entails. As it did for many crews at the time; he wasn't actually called "Butcher" Harris by his aircrews for nothing.
The closest we have to this is probably the near-legendary Radio 4 version of Len Deighton's "Bomber", spread over 24 hours in 2000 or thereabouts.
