BS

All aircrew were volunteers.

No-one fiorced them into the air.

If they then refused to fly, they were classed LMF.

No RAF aircrew were coerced into flying. Not in Bomber Command, not in Fighter Command or in Coastal Command. Not one.




You are a ****ing ignoramus if you think otherwise.

The second part of your statement was that BC crews were driven to "certain" death.

Here's a table of % chance of survival for various loss rates and number of ops. Number of ops is down the left, loss rates across the top, life expectancy in terms of number of ops in the cells. I've explained if for you as you're clearly a ****ing imbecile.



Next, here's a chart of monthly loss rates. Go ahead and point out the periods in which, in which airforce, death was certain.

You might also want to check out this book.

There's lots of big words, so you might find it hard going, ****wit.

http://books.google.com.au/books?id=05r3KO7OXhEC&pg=PA198&lpg=PA198&dq=LMF+in+the+RAF+book+series&source=bl&ots=I9ecwu0mdS&sig=YrMORcRIPksOl8eI7lsOLUAtol0&hl=en#v=onepage&q=LMF%20in%20the%20RAF%20book%20series&f=false

OK sorry, not certain death, lol.. But enough to warrant
policies to prevent mass refusal.. I'd say that is significant..

And it still does not change the fact that RAF Policy..
Was to force them to fly, By Coercion and Branding..
This is admitted!

Directives were even issued to make sure the practice
received no media attention, in fear of public opinion..

The 8th AF had ~2000 airmen removed from flying duties due LMF and emotional reasons between 1942 and 1945.

As for being forced, the USA had conscription. :eek: Aprox. 22,000 COs and evaders were sent to prison.

The only consistent point you seem to be making is that the British Army and now the R.A.F. are morbidly stupid and oppressed their own people.

Only in the bizarre world of the Aces High Forum would Britain be portrayed as the evil wrongdoers of the Second World War.

"Reality" is what I am talking about..
If you cannot accept it, don't try to blame that on me!
Saying it Never Happened, is denial.. That is your problem, not mine!

I never said they are the "evil wrongdoers" of WW2..
Those are YOUR words, do not attribute them to me..
Are you stupid or what?
