Art? Bombardiers were every bit as replaceable as cooks, chaplains,
truckers, and office orderlies who licked stamps all day, so quite
pretending you weren't. Peer

You seem to have no idea of what the air war was all about Allow me to
clarify it all for you. Do you know why we built B-17's, B-24's, B--26's,
B-25's and A-20's? Do you know why we trained pilots navigators and gunners?
Do you know why we built bombs and Norden bombsights? We did all that for just
one reason and one reason alone. It was to put a bombardier over a target for
at least 30 seconds, hopefully more. The pilots were there to drive him there,
the gunners were to protect him, the fighters were to escort him, But
delivering the bombardier to the target was what the air war was about in
bombers. BTW, the washout rate in my bombardier class at Big Spring was 90 % I
doubt if you could have qualified. You probably never had enough spherical
trig. That is if you could pass the physical and mental tests to begin with
which relatively few could.. No, you were better off as a mess orderly.

Yeah and now thank God the GPS-chip does it all. And all those dweeby
egoflated maths professors and Actuaries can **** OFF and SHUT THE
**** UP!!
