"All
your operations were planned with great care and skill.
They were executed in the face of desperate opposition
and appalling hazards, they made a decisive contribution
to Germany's final defeat. The conduct of the operations
demonstrated the fiery gallant spirit which animated your
aircrews, and the high sense of duty of all ranks under
your command. I believe that the massive achievements of
Bomber Command will long be remembered as an example of
duty nobly done." |
