I'll bet he saw more combat than you did and he flew C-54s.


A C-54 is not a combat aircraft. Seeing "action" implies that you have

done
harm to the enemy. You can't do harm to the enemy in an unarmed airliner.
Flying combat airccraft is one thing, Flying airliners is something else.

Art,

Being a bombadeer / navigator is not like piloting anything.

Admit it Art, you were a just a crew member on an airplane flown by a real
pilot.

Applying your convoluted "logic" to your self - you have no right to express
opinions on piloting anything - or on being a commissioned officer with
aircraft command authority.

And your definition of "action" is so screwd up I'm not even going to
comment...

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. Do you know why they have
gunners on a bomber? Just one reason. To protect that bombardier and get him
over the target for 30 seconds. Do you know why they have fighter cover? Just
to get a bombardier over a target for 30 seconds. 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.


This pretty much proves that Kramer is dead, and his nephew or ******* child has
taken over his name. A real veteran doesn't think like that, and I've known some
serious misfits, but never to this level.

The incredibly small world of Mr. Kramer just got a lot smaller. Kind of
sad watching him self-destruct...

I have many times. And every pilot in the 344th knew that his prime job was to
put the bombardier over the target,. It is only the wannabbes on this NG that
can't figure that out.

That's been done. Today we deliver more bombs than the Marauder could carry
from single-seat aircraft. The sole remaining crew member is called
"pilot".
