"Krztalizer" wrote in message ... I thought the night training was not deemed strictly necessary since USAAF made only day-bombing. That is an incorrect statement. Although by percentage they made up only a small part of the war effort, US bomber units did occasionally fly at night. Think about how short the daylight hours are over Northern Europe - "day" mission or not, if its a 10 hour mission, at least some of it is going to be past 'pink time'. Not to mention the fact that on the other side of the world, the B-29's were doing a *lot* of night work. Brooks v/r Gordon ====(A+C==== USN SAR Its always better to lose -an- engine, not -the- engine. |
