I'm not so sure about the numbers of this Bomber Harris trust, there isn't much info on it. I don't doubt it had a part of ex RAF airmen supporting it, but this doesn't mean that they are right or that their scope is a legit one.

You still have Nazi vets that support their wartime creed, but this doesn't make them right, does it?

Anyway, going back on topic, the whole argument was that as much as I accept and think it's fair to celebrate the bravery of RAF Bomber Command aircrews, I don't think Harris deserves all this celebration, if anything for his controversial and questionable tactics.
