The role of Bomber Command in World War II has been hotly debated over the years. Whatever one may think about the effectiveness and morality of the overall strategy, it is difficult to question the commitment of the individual airmen. Bomber Command suffered the greatest loss per capita of all the Allied forces, experiencing a 63 per cent casualty rate. At one point during the war a navigator could expect to survive fewer than 12 bombing operations.Duty With Honour is the story of one young navigator who served in the Royal Canadian Air Force, from 1940-1945.

The course of his life had been altered by the Second World War, and his experiences in war had influenced the man he became.

He had lived a rich and full life. He was ready to go to his eternal home. On Sunday, September 11, 2005 Lindsay departed this world having truly lived a life of duty with honour. Reflecting on his life, a life that was so impacted by war, Jean summed it up beautifully when she said, "Lindsay left for war a good man, and he returned home a better man."
