But as to the OP.
RIP to a fine airman. The people who flew torpedo bombers were the bravest of the brave. And that was in normal flying conditions. To fly at wavetop, in a howling gale, with AA reaching out to try and blot you from the sky takes acnear unfathomable amount of courage. And the free world is safer now to this mans coruage.
"unfathomable amount of courage"
Yeah 80% courage, 20% pure insanity.
Or is it the other way round ?
RIP John
