Flatten all German towns and cities. He was steadfast in his aims and brutal in his methods. When Allied leaders asked him to use the Lancasters in tactical raid in preparation for the D-Day invasions, he demurred. He was intent on flattening cities.

I don't want to get into detail but most of the Harris' bombs fell nowhere near their designated targets. Neither did the American bombs.

One of the cities he flattened was Dresden towards the end of the war. Dresden was a beautifully preserved and ancient city full of refugees from the Russians. The film, again not pursuing controversy, doesn't mention it but when the Queen Mum unveiled a statue of Harris after the war, there were boos from the crowd. The film tries to convince us that area bombing was too blunt an instrument to be used today. A British pilot in Iraq tells us that before any bombs are dropped on highly specified targets, there is always a low overflight, "to show them that our dog is bigger than their dog.

I can still remember Bs carpet bombing areas of Vietnam. The technique seems to be good at tearing up cities but not breaking morale. In its time it was an iconic airplane, as much a part of Britain's war as the adroit and graceful Spitfire.

I look forward to your swift response. Congratulations again and welcome to the team! It should be a fun and unforgettable experience. It will be shot this fall in Picton, Dunnville, and Hamilton, Ontario, as well as locations in England, Belgium and the Netherlands and will encompass historical footage, interviews with veterans and experts and a living history segment - which is where you come in.

Living history series allow audiences to gain understanding of a historical experience by watching real people go through carefully constructed scenarios. We have done this with the fur trade in the s with our series Quest for the Bay, where 8 people went from Winnipeg to the edge of the Hudson Bay in a foot York boat; in the series Klondike: The Quest for Gold, where 5 individuals traveled the Chilkoot Trail and Yukon River to experience what the s Klondike Gold Rush was like, and in Quest for the Sea, a series that saw 10 people live the lives of Newfoundlanders in a small fishing village circa The purpose of this portion of series is to show what it was like for an average person of your age to participate in the BCATP in the most realistic way possible and correlate your experience with that of the real veterans who trained for the war, so we want you to be honest and open with how you feel about your experience.

The following information will help outline what you can expect should you be chosen to be one of these participants. For approximately 10 days, you will be participating in an abbreviated s-style aircrew training program, which will give you a small taste of what the young men in the program had to go through at the time.

All uniforms, equipment and activities will reflect that time period to the greatest degree of accuracy possible. There will be certified instructors who will teach courses such as physical training, drill, aircraft recognition, flight simulation, navigation, use of weapons and the basics of flying a WWII-style plane.

You will sleep in barracks that were actually used during the period and eat the same type of food that was consumed by the men during their training. In the final days of training, you will travel to Dunnville, Ontario, where you will get the opportunity to put your learning to the test by target shooting with period machine guns and flying in an original plane used in the Flight Training Schools.

In addition to our filming these activities with a director and cameraman, you will be required to share your feelings and experiences through video diaries and written letters. The training period will end with a trip to Hamilton and the very rare opportunity to fly in one of only two remaining airworthy Lancaster Bombers in the world. You will share these flights with actual WWII veterans who flew in these planes during the War and will be able to discuss and share your common and unique experiences with them.

The programme featured footage filmed at the airfield in Waltham Road, including shots of the brothers flying a DC3 Dakota. Click here to watch the show.
