Do you know why they have pilots on bombers? Just for one reason
which was to put a bombardier over a target for 30 seconds.


Every bomber required at least one pilot, but not every bomber required a
bombardier.



The pilot is only a bus driver to deliver him where he can hurt the enemy.
So don't make too big a deal of pilots . Some are good and some are
not..If you get one who can fly a good bomb run, not dump your gyro
and keep the wings level so you don't dump bombs all over the landscape,
you are lucky.But good bomb run pilots are not all that easy to find. And
as far as judging pilots performance on a bomb run, no one is more
qualified to make that judgement than a bombardier. But this is a subject
you would know nothing about.


Sounds like you're bitter over washing out of pilot training and being made
a bombardier.
