Now that's pressure
By Desmond Mackrill
I find it interesting to read or listen to sports correspondents describing "The pressure poor Joe Soccer is suffering". The sad multi-millionaire hasn't scored a goal for three games. I have an ex R.A.F. friend who flew with Bomber Command during the 2nd World War, in Lancaster Bombers. He flew
day and night missions. Day time the sky would fill with enemy figher planes, leaving the crew with the hope that their guns and/or their fighter escort would be too strong for the enemy. Night time the sky would be lit up with long beams of yellow light sent from seachlights surrounding the target area. Accompanied by hundreds of anti-aircraft shells exploding every where so that your Lancaster appeared to be a submarine in a sea of exploding shells. If your sortie was followd by another group of bombers whose flight path was above yours you could run the risk of
being hit by a bomb or bombs, if you were slowed down because your aircraft had been damaged. What about landing? Not every bomb is dropped, so from time to time bombers used have to land not knowing whether the bomb would or not explode. Those correspondents think Joe Soccer is under pressure?
Cobblers. By the way aircrew where on about £5/week.
