I read somewhere that the "Tony" had
no impact on the war in the Pacific because
so many were always under repair. It was
an excellent design but the front line
mechanics had no training in how to fix
such a complicated machine.

....much like the F-35...as the saying goes, "the more things change, the more
they stay the same"!

...."the cost per flying hour of the F-35A in the fiscal year ending last
September was $44,000 per hour."

....50 hours of maintenance per flight hour
