Doctor B. N. Wallis, C.B.E., F.R.S.:
[Morning after the raid]
Is it true? All those fellows lost?
Gibson:
Only two aircraft went down in the attacks. That was Hopgood's over the Moehne and Maudsley's at the Eder. Astell got it soon after crossing the coast. And Dinghy Young was shot down over the sea, on his way home. The rest we don't know about. They've been calling them since midnight, but they haven't answered. The flak was bad. Worse than I expected.
Doctor B. N. Wallis, C.B.E., F.R.S.:
[upset]
Fifty-six men... If I'd known it was going to be like this, I'd never have started it.
Gibson:
Now you mustn't think that way. If all these fellows had known from the beginning they wouldn't be coming back they would have gone for it just the same. There isn't a single one of them that would have dropped out. I knew them all. I know that's true. Look, you've had a worse night than any of us. Why don't you find the doctor and ask for one of his sleeping pills?
Doctor B. N. Wallis, C.B.E., F.R.S.:
[Shakes head]
Aren't you going to turn in, Gibby?
Gibson:
No, I... I have to write some letters first.
