Apologies from Regle
Cliff, Reg wants you to know that he is struggling with the website, he entered the last story then said quote "several things flashed up" and threw him off, he had not finished the story.
I am going to try and teach him how to make the story in word, then cut and paste into the forum which is the way I think that you do it?
I was also going to start to link some pictures of Reg's USA training, is that OK?
Regards Andy
PS thanks for the description of the gun-sight, when I spoke to Reg today he said that they (in 42A, 1941) were not taught this, so you must have been in a later class and had a more sophisticated training!
Certainly by your description I can see why there are Ace's who must have been natural mental calculators. I seem to remember that only 2% of the fighter pilots were Ace's (5 or more kills) and a lot of pilots got through the war without seeing an enemy aircraft (after the Battle of Britain)
