Why would an RAF pilot become a USAAC co-pilot?
I haven't thought about John O'Brian in years. But a comment made on this NG
reminded me of him. He was a bit older than the rest of us. He had a civilian pilots license when the war started in Europe. He went to Canada and ended up flying Hurricanes in the MTO. When the US entered the war he was, like all Americans, transferred to the USAAC. But he ended up as a copilot with the 344th Bomb Group flying B-26 Marauders..I always wondered why, with his experience, he didn't become a left seater. Any ideas?
