thegypsy (#11501),

As a single-seater at the time, I've always believed that we were never able to train enough pilots to provide two pilots for things like Wellingtons. In the early contempory semi-official film "Target for Tonight", only one pilot is shown in "F for Freddie". Same for Lancasters and Halifaxes in Bomber Command later in the war. The USAAC trained enough to provide co-pilots for everything that had twin seats in front.

But we have stacks of multi ex-pilots on board here who can give us the real 'gen'.

Danny,
