Re: George Beurling--if looks could KILL!
I think that you need to expand on your off-the-cuff comparison of Beurling and Gibson. If I recall correctly, such criticism as there is of Gibson (and I haven't seen much) seem to centre on his attitudes towards subordinates: he is deemed a disciplinarian and a martinet. Hardly the same as the undisciplined Beurling. Both appear to have been self-centred, but that is not an unusual attribute in a successful wartime career.
