Black outs for lack of oxygen

[Simba]

 "Please let me know where I can read about "...battles when we know (from history), that the pilots weren't using oxygen."

Start with James McCudden's 'Five Years in the Royal Flying Corps'. It's easily found, if you can be bothered to make the effort.

I like it but we need to deal with ceilings first, I got an I-16 up to 24k the other day while I was afk.

Seriously? 24 freakin k?

perdweeb

As far as I know, the type 10 had a service ceiling well above 25k.

And while random failures are not necessarily a good idea, guns should have a tendency to jam under high G loads and violent maneuvering, whether firing or not.  That factor has a direct effect on ACM.

Is that sincere or snarky?

Totally snark-free, sir.  If there were pilots during the 1939-1945 war who did not use O2, I'd like to read about them.

<snark=max> Simba, thanks very much for pointing out the obvious. </snark>
