Bomber Harris:
Cochrane...!
[gestures for him to wait]
Bomber Harris:
Don't go for a minute. What do you think of Wallis' idea for bursting the Ruhr Dams?
Air Vice-Marshal Cochrane:
It sounds a bit far-fetched. But, personally, I think it could be done.
Bomber Harris:
I hope you're right. Anyway, I've given it my support, and I've had orders to get ready. I want you to take it on.
Air Vice-Marshal Cochrane:
Right, sir. I'd like to. It'll mean taking a squadron out of the line for special training.
Bomber Harris:
No. We must form a special squadron for this. And man it with experienced crews who have just finished their present thirty trips. Some of those keen youngsters won't mind doing an extra one.
Air Vice-Marshal Cochrane:
Do you have anyone in mind to command the squadron?
Bomber Harris:
Yes. Gibson.
