Don't let this pioot stuff go to your head. The entire purpose of a

bombing
mission in WW II was to put a bombardier over a target for 30 seconds. The
pilot was just the driver. And when it came to flying good bomb runs some
pilots weren't worth a ****.


No, the purpose of a bombing mission in World War II was to put bombs on a
target. Many successful bombing missions were flown by aircraft without a
bombardier aboard at all. Many were flown by aircraft with only a pilot
aboard.
