That is what I thought. But he never made it to the left seat.

Maybe something else, probably something the squadron or wing
commander knew that no one else did (whole person concept).

Since the 80's they wouldn't waste time on anyone who wasn't
going to be an Aircraft Commander one day. They don't have
professional co-pilots :-)



This was in WW II. Everything that could fly had to fly. Pilots and crews were
needed. Every seat had to be filled with aircrew.The future had to take care
if itself.
