 There is no doubt that Fauquier was one of the toughest of commanders . He saw his job as getting every available aircraft on the target on every night of operations and had no patience with any incompetence or inefficiency that might compromise that goal . ... The ground crews thought the world of him , because he thought the world of them and never took them for granted , always remembering to take them bottles of beer or other treats if they had worked particularly hard . Many considered him Canada 's greatest bomber pilot .
