I'll bet he saw more combat than you did and he flew C-54s.
A C-54 is not a combat aircraft. Seeing "action" implies that you have
done
harm to the enemy. You can't do harm to the enemy in an unarmed airliner.
Flying combat airccraft is one thing, Flying airliners is something else.

Art,
Being a bombadeer / navigator is not like piloting anything.
Admit it Art, you were a just a crew member on an airplane flown by a real
pilot.
Applying your convoluted "logic" to your self - you have no right to express
opinions on piloting anything - or on being a commissioned officer with
aircraft command authority.
And your definition of "action" is so screwd up I'm not even going to
comment...
