Thank you very much for sharing. 

I am in awe of the bravery of those Bomber Command Crews.  The video really highlights the lack of realistic escape options.  And, let us remember that the Stirling/Halifax/Lancaster force operated at night.  So, these aircraft could truly become dark, flying coffins.  

The crew stations in Cold War aircraft, especially those with ejection seats, seem almost luxurious by comparison.

      * Please note that some squadrons may have multiple CO planes, this is not a mistake. Rather than just picking one CO, I am respresenting all the COs for that squardon during the period. So both COs could pop up in given scenario. I rather have them than cut them so...it's only a game...

      These manuals were one part of a training series put together by Jimmy Thach. There are various videos floating around the internet which match the titles of these manuals. Excellent stuff if you want to know how USN and USMC pilots flew and fought in the Pacific.
