Air combat expensive

Well you have an expensive machine, varying costs, you have, we figured it cost fifty thousand dollars to train each of us. But a little wee Blenheim like that, you got three guys that’s one hundred and fifty thousand for openers, not counting the airplane or the bombs or anything. We always figured that that’s what it cost and I think we were low because it takes 14 guys to keep a guy in the air. So when you consider all your people, all your radio guys, your riggers and your fitters and all those guys, armorers, it’s a lot of people. They’re all, most of them non-commissioned, but they go right to W 01 and that’s a... you have a fair investment, everybody, costs a lot of money.
