Not an Anglophile, yet I do admire the stories of Medieval Knights and Vassals. The Crusades were of particular interest, due to lie (Humm) that Pope Urban declared, “God Will It!!” Uh, no HE did NOT. Essentially, it was an imperialistic attempt at hegemony to expand the European empire. Thus, it failed miserably when Saladin fought back valiantly during the end of, if I recall correctly, at the 8th Crusade. Back to Sir Bader; a lot of STRENGTH (that our debauched and sadistic King Orange l does NOT possess—yet he seems so, no? 😂) VALOR and NERVES OF STEEL. The RAF was one of the most successful and fearsome bunch of bloaks whom have my deepest reverence. They fought off the Nazi’s during WWIl and gained recognition world wide. I give ANY AIRMAN or SOLDIER whom fights for RIGTOUSNESS—as WE here in the USA are fighting an orange, girly make-upped, limp phallus with absurd ambitions—PRAISE!! Fear not, WORLD—WE WILL BE BACK.
I love and respect the British penchant for understatement; penning "bad show" in your log book probably cannot be outdone (or underdone!). Rolls-Royce deserves a lot of credit in designing the Merlin engines to be able to get Sir Douglas off the ground with those massive brass balls of his. Rule Britannia!
And he could do things that other pilots couldn't, because they would black out!
Who knew there were advantages to losing your legs!
What a great story! And to think the Mango Mussolini couldn't serve in the military because of "bone spurs." 😡

Sir Douglas Bader is a pilot that this pilot looks up to for his sheer airmanship and determination. Respect wherever you are, Sir.
Definition of “Bad Ass”.
A life well lived
