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. Flight Lieutenant Lindsay Reynolds completed a tour of operations in the Middle East and returned home in 1943 to instruct in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan in Canada.

The course of his life had been altered by the Second World War, and his experiences in war had influenced the man he became. The Saviour, in whom he had trusted and called on in times of great turmoil and terror; who had preserved his life and used his experiences to strengthen his character and enrich his life was calling him home to his reward. 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."
