LION (Literature Online) Roma Victrix: Douglas Bader y Adolf Galland Adolf,segundo por la izquierda y Dougas, en el centro. Hay ocasiones en que se ven cosas difíciles de entender. Como cuando vas despacio por una carretera, por medio de un paisaje yermo y árido y, de pronto, se aparece ante nosotros una bella y solitaria flor casi al borde de la cuneta que al menos nos alegra en parte el recorrido... o incluso cuando tienes la oportunidad o la desgracia de compartir mesa y mantel con un grupo de gente en el que son mayoría los mediocres y, en medio suyo, aparece una persona de aquellas que captan tu atención solo por la habilidad con la que miden sus gestos o sus palabras. En 1940, en medio de lo más duro de la Batalla de Inglaterra, Douglas Bader fue derribado en su caza. En 1939 Inglaterra declaró la guerra a Alemania. Al otro lado del mar, Alemania estaba, parecía, venciendo la guerra. Inglaterra y Alemania arreglaron, por vía diplomática, la entrega de dos prótesis nuevas para Bader.
