Why is there not a separate section on this page about Guy Gibson`s infamous arrogance and aloofness ? It is mentioned in a few of the sections but is rather buried. Almost every book I read about Bomber Command alludes to it or mentions it directly. Gibson was not a particularly popular officer (a bit like Montgomery in that regard ? ) especially, but not only with, lower ranks. His dismissive attitude to Leonard Cheshire`s VC was perhaps typical. Cheshire was also "a hero" but, of course, very much liked and respected by all ranks.--[[User:JustinSmith|JustinSmith]] ([[User talk:JustinSmith|talk]]) 20:38, 17 August 2019 (UTC) |

Two unrelated OR issues
- See also /Archive 1#Welter's Claim
There are two obvious examples of OR in this article as of 19:18, 5 August 2017 (UTC).
The first and most obvious is the citation on the Porthleven memorial "Rob Davis (from personal visit)". This is a clear breach of WP:PSTS sentence "Do not add unsourced material from your personal experience, because that would make Wikipedia a primary source of that material".
The second is more complicated but I think equally valid. in concerns the paragraph
Speculation persists that Gibson's Mosquito... However....
The problem is that the speculation is put forward by a secondary source. Which if reliable needs to be refuted with a secondary source. Using a primary source to refute it "However..." is I think Original Research, of the sort that fails WP:SYNTHESIS, as it is publishing a refutation of a secondary source not provided by another secondary source.
My suggested solution for these two issue is:
- to remove the personal citation and request a more reliable one.
- remove the whole paragraph and place it on this talk page, because I see where the editors who drew this conclusion, and if there is a secondary source to back it up it would be a reasonable paragraph to include. But not while it is relying on primary source sources.

Gibson's infamous attitude
Why is there not a separate section on this page about Guy Gibson`s infamous arrogance and aloofness ? It is mentioned in a few of the sections but is rather buried. Almost every book I read about Bomber Command alludes to it or mentions it directly. Gibson was not a particularly popular officer (a bit like Montgomery in that regard ? ) especially, but not only with, lower ranks.

- Officers try not to get too 'chummy' with men they might later have to send to their deaths. it's bad for morale, one's own, and everyone else's.
- Montgomery was very popular with his men, who trusted him not to to waste their lives on worthless and pointless attacks just to make him appear good in the newspapers. Montgomery fought and won battles, while many of his critics hadn't fought, never mind won, a battle since 1918.
