I am writing a book about how pilots changed their flying methods during WW II. One message is that many pilots hated checklists and standardization, and had to be trained to use them. Largely as a result, operational accidents were much higher in the UK and Germany than in US air forces.

Chapters cover:
  • American bombers in Europe
  • American B-29s in the Pacific
  • American AF pilots
  • US Navy in the Pacific theater
  • Stateside training in the US
  • German training and fighter pilots in the later part of the war.
  • British pilots, especially fighter pilots, early in the war.
  • Helicopters in Vietnam
  • Bombing N. Vietnam
Write me if you'd like to see any of these.
