Wow, I looked DB up, what an intersting character!  You gotta admire a fighter pilot with prosthetic legs!!!  I'm amazed.

 I read his biography Reach for the Sky in 8th grade, it is a fascinating read! I have always kept a copy in my read pile.

Thanks guys!  Good one Pilgrim!  I didn't think of it as classy, but you've got a point.

Looking good...

There is a centre that is dedicated to prosthetics and Douglas Bader that I've done work in...

A highly inspirational man.

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...
