“After returning unscathed to Britain, Wg Cdr Gatward wrote in
his logbook: ‘Paris - no cover - 0ft. Drop tricolours on Arc Triomphe &
Ministrie Marine. Shoot up German HQ. Little flak - no E.A. Bird in STBD oil
radiator.
‘Returned Northolt and on
to command 61 photos. Heavy rain over England. France fair to light.’"
“The bird in question was
a French crow that clattered into Wg Cdr Gatward's Beaufighter plane as he
approached Paris.
“Upon his return to
England, he removed the dead bird and laid it to rest at RAF Northolt.”
Wing Commander Gatward flew down the Champs-Elysees at
second-story level, dropped a Tricolor on the Arc de Triomphe, and then shot up
Gestapo headquarters before returning to England.
A feminist would never consider such an act, lacking testosterone
and all that.
