Was there ever any truth in the story of the 2 Herc pilots who only had one eye each and if they flew with each other, they had to occupy the seats such that each had his "serviceable" eye on the outboard side of the cockpit?
Yes, it is true that there were two monocular C130 pilots at the same time, on the same Squadron. However, I'm pretty sure that it was their inboard eyes that were serviceable. I'm also pretty sure that they did fly together at least once.
