You were the one whining about lack of resources. They had all the resources in Europe.

I'll give you one thing, the Luftwaffe fans are definitely better at coming up with excuses.

Where do you think carrier pilots landed when they mistook one patch of empty ocean for a different patch of empty ocean?

Seriously, trying to argue that landmarks are worse then no landmarks is so idiotic that I'm really amazed that you're not trying to pretend you never said it.

This is quite comical coming from someone who thinks that landmarks are a disadvantage.

they hadn't, you probably didn't inform yourself well enough.

it hardly happened, because they used radio navigation, which is a form of IFR. I'm surprised I'm even having to explain this to you.

you're changing my words. I said that IFR is safer than VFR, because there's less margin for error. In some cases landmarks can be misinterpreted and cause the pilot to get lost, if you ever flew on a small plane you would know this. The fact that you want to have an opinion on things you know zip about and have no experience with is somewhat grotesque, you don't socialise much out of here, do you?

Read above.

And for the record, this is the last answer I give you here, if you want to continue this conversation and make a buffoon out of yourself, feel free to start a thread in the off topic forum.

Now, back to Red Tails..

What do you think pilots used when their radio navigation equipment was damaged? How do you think that process worked for carrier pilots?

Obviously it didn't work well for the few that had that speciffic bit of equipment damaged.
