Subject: SHOULD YOU OPEN FIRE?

I guess that is why they stuck us back in the tail-end-Charlie
slot until we were dry behind the ears..But we moved up quickly with
experience
and ended up flying deputy lead before the war ended.

One thing's for certain. Nobody learns about aerial gunnery faster than the
guy flying that TEC position!! In the fighter groups, early in the war,
before viable and realistic tactical formations became the rule of the day ,
that position was tantamount to a death sentence for many.
