Sorry, I thought I was in your killfile. Did you make your own maps,
or did others do that for you? Did you make your B-26 by hand in your
own garage, or did others do that for you? Who taught you to navigate
or use the Norden, or did you invent mathematics, geometry,
cartography and precision bombsight engineering yourself?

In short, where does the tyranny of your own experience end, and other
people begin?

We carried 8 500 pound bombs which I was
responsible for inspecting the loading, checking the arming wires for security
and making sure all the A=2 bomb shackles were properly installed.

So you didn't weigh them, you just took it on trust that they weighed
500lbs?

God, I never dreamt you knew so little.

You have no problems dismissing or demeaning literally millions of
people. I'm happy enough to be in their company. I'm still going to
thank you for what you did.
