I think if you face danger, or your own personal destruction, to do a job, then you are "brave" no matter what you are actually doing. While "brave" is often seen as completely "good", it's pretty clear that outlaws and bad people are also "brave"- according to the dictionary definition.

So the person in the plane who faces no danger in dropping the bombs is probably not really brave- unless of course he'll be in danger after he lands- if he faced a huge manhunt after he landed because of what he did, then I'd say he was brave.
