I agree Elann. My father was thrilled when St Clement Dane's finally opened a book of Remembrance for Bomber Command, and asked that instead of a tombstone, his name should be commemorated there. It's less obvious than the memorials to Fighter Command, but at least it is now there.
The loss of civilian life was terrible and in retrospect may well seem wrong, but I guess that when you are fighting for survival, the perspective is different. The bomber crews were fighting for their country just as much as the fighter pilots and I am glad to remember them.
