Transcription
You’re a team. To begin with it’s a team and you have confidence in everybody’s ability, and why you have confidence in them I’m really not sure because we are all rank amateurs, you know, we hadn’t had much experience so here are these pilots in the modern day getting thousands of hours of flying training, you know, we had four or five hundred hours maybe. Pilots would have four or five hundred hours and take a great 4-engine bomber out and, you know, my navigation training, I think, was probably very rudimentary. But you know what, we had confidence in each other and we’d go out drinking together, you know, parties together, and just got tremendous confidence in each other, I think.
