Complexity

"In the absence of data (in this World War II airforce operation to bomb Ploeste and destroy fuel reserves) the men rely on hope and the ability to adapt and overcome.
A complex plan had become chaos and the pilots are improvising desparately to avoid collision.
If you don't attempt something, you don't achieve anything.
Some thought this was a crusade, some thought it an adventure; but for the majority (of us) it was a case of doing our duty."
