There has been a lot spoken and written recently on this subject. Perhaps it can he best described in the following terms:
There’s a sort of bonding that develops out of situations of extreme danger, an intimate trust that glues people together. “I’ll watch your back you watch mine, trust me, I trust you!” It was never said, just implied and it developed into a sort of love. Nothing sexual or even emotional, just an unexpressed bond of mutual care and concern which wasn’t specifically personal but community oriented; a very human thing! John (Prof.) Edwards in Slipstream, Journal of the Fleet Air Arm Association of Australia, January 1997.
