Re: Surviving veteran fighter pilots

You will find more primary and secondary material in archives and in published works than you could read in a lifetime, perhaps it is time to leave old men and women in their 90s to enjoy what time they have left without being quizzed about long lost friends and events.

I realise that I have just dismissed a major part of a historian's work, but that is my view. We can still write history or fiction about the English Civil War or Waterloo, even though everyone is long gone.

Just a thought
