That was when we had slow planes and dumb bombs that had to be dropped from low altitude. Plus we took on an enemy with roughly equivalent weaponry. These days we only attack third world countries and do it from miles away. How many Tornados were shot down by The Taliban?

My Grandad worked for Bomber Command as an aide to a General and probably got to go home every day. Cushy.
