I can't stand Dan Walker due to the fact he lied to his daughter about women's part in WWII. the small girl had asked why there were no women's names on a memorial. He decided to lie and say there were many female pilots. He could have been honest and explained how brilliant the women had been, how they'd fly the planes to where they were needed, but no. He just made some waffle up which she will find it to be untrue.
He hadn’t wished to expose his two daughters to the ‘grim realities of pre-20th century gender relations’.
Maybe he should have taken her to see the war graves all over Europe.
