Public Support Memorial to Bomber Command

A campaign in Britain to erect a memorial to the pilots and airmen killed during the aerial bombardment of Germany during WW2 has raised £500,000 ($750,000) in just three weeks, a quarter of the target. The bomber aircrews suffered the highest fatality rate of any British unit in the war, but Bomber Command and its methods of attacking Germany has become a controversial subject recently. If the general public had any worries – and this may mean they didn’t - it appears they are able to separate them out from the individual stories of the crews.
