Ed's were in Nam. Mine were in the ETO over Germany.


Machs nicht. Aircrew casualties 1939-1945 were
higher than in Vietnam were they not.
The word horrendous springs to mind.

I never flew in Viet Nam and have no idea of rhe casualty rate vis-s-vis the
ETO. And I don't want to start an argument over which war was more dangerous
for flyers.
Let's just say that no one goes into combat with any assurances of ever coming
out alive, and let it go at that.
