Interesting combat reports, sounds like some of these guys coulda used a third hand (or an FO
) An old Wildcat pilot once told me about the landing gear, how you had to rotate a hand crank something like 25 times to bring the gear up. If your hand slipped it would just spin back down, possibly bashing your hand in the proccess. Pretty heavy workload in some of these old birds.
