Tom,
That may well be true, but the truth is we didn't waste any to anything but enemy fire and a couple of revetments. We were capable of making them perform to their maximum capability, in terrible conditions. I wasn't a slick pilot, but I'll darn tee you I could outfly just about anybody in a Charlie. Touch was the tuner, and I was the piano player. Together we were great.
