Reminds me of my warrant officer appointment physical. I had to report at 04:30, and since I finished work at 01:30, I decided not to bother to try to sleep. By the time we got around to the balance tests, sometime after lunch, I was beginning to get a bit woozy. Coordination and balance definitely suffered after being awake for more than 36 hours, but I passed. Not without a few dirty looks from the docs.

.... the rear gunner is 'expendable' ... seated outside the titanium tub .... but the losses in the early models - single seaters - were, even by Soviet standards, unacceptable.
But the weak spot was the unprotected oil cooler - underneath. Ilyushin was never able to fully meet the performance specs that the Air Ministry set for the plane but that didn't stop deployment.

I found the book to be excellent with little of the whitewash you normally find in Russian books

... it is, very frank. The IL 2 .... which he flew ... was not a lovable machine. He envied the Stuka pilots.
