There is the tip of the spear. Then there is everything else. The very best
are
at the tip of the spear. Where were you?

Art, bombardiers were common and, while needed, were easily replaced. Don't
flatter yourself. In reality you did all you could towards the war effort but
the war would have been won if you weren't even there. You were a minor cog in
a big wheel amongst among a great many wheels. If you were incapacitated somone
else on your plane would have gone forward and done your job.

The war involved ground and naval forces doing their jobs that were just as
important as yours. Think about it. If the convoys hadn't crossed the Atlantic
you wouldn't have been able to do your job. If the ground forces hadn't taken
territory you wouldn't have been able to do your job. It took a combination of
land, sea and air to win that damned war and it would have been wone even if
you weren't there.

Are you really that insecure you have to try to convince us you were the best
of the best? It sounds more like you are trying to convince yourself. You may
have been good bombardier, but so far the only one saying so is you.
