Okay...

There's this guy, see?  He's a WWII vet named Earl Miller -- flew fighters later in the war.  Every day, he posts his "back then" flight log book entries on a listserv.  Here's the one from October 10, 1944:

1944:
The quote below is from the War Diary 345th Fighter Squadron by
Captain Allan C. Wills, S-2 Officer:

"10.  Again no operations were possible because of the condition
of the taxi strip and all missions were canceled."

I don't know why the taxi was damaged (coulda been lots of rain for all I know!).  I guess the point it was damaged at all, and it led to the cancellation of all operations.  How that relates to AH is a big for me.

Seems to me if you put a crater in a runway, MAYBE it some how affects the aircraft taking off?  This can be applied across the board for air op needs.  I'm not saying all air operations should cease.  I would, however, like some kind of penalty for not successfully defending a base.  

That being said, it sure would be nice if it was harder to PORK a base.

BTW, Earl!  Thanks!

Yes thats what I said sailor. Guys would either excel in the early planes or up back at the next base. There would be a sense of attritting the enemy base without denying all planes to it. Those that wished to defend could, those that dgaf could up there, kill a couple and try to land or die.
