The FINANCIAL -- Stephen Bungay, a Director of
the Ashridge Strategic Management Centre, was featured, making
historical strategy comments on BBC 1's 'Bomber Boys' which was screened
last night, Sunday 5 February.
According to Ashridge Media Centre, brothers Colin and Ewan McGregor were following up their documentary The Battle of Britain with a film exploring Bomber Command, a rarely-told story from the Second World War.
Stephen had featured prominently in the previous film too.
In 2000 he published The Most Dangerous Enemy, generally acclaimed as the definitive account of the Battle of Britain, and followed it in 2002 with Alamein. He is a regular contributor to TV programmes, including the UK’s Channel 4 Spitfire Ace series, first screened in early 2004. His most recent book, The Art of Action, applied the lessons of military history to modern day business strategy.
The Bomber Boys film focused primarily on the men who fought and died in the skies above occupied Europe, with numerous examples of individual heroism and extraordinary collective spirit. But this is also the story of a controversy that has lasted almost 70 years.
The programme covered six years of wartime operations, and traced the obstacles and challenges that were overcome as the RAF developed and deployed the awesome fighting force that was Bomber Command.
