Good point turnarounds. I should have said brought it kicking and screaming into the 20th century
. If you were involved with fire fighting pre NSCA(Vic) then you would know that it was ineffective, strengths and weaknesses not well understood, tactics and startegies on how to best use it ad hoc and as such it was not used to its fullest capability.
I guess you could also say that a farmer in is DH82a with a bucket of water in 1937 was also doing aerial firefighting...
