Judging by my apparent lack of situation awareness and poor gunnery skills.  I can probably say that I would not have even been let near the wash bucket of any WW2 aircraft, much less the pilot's seat.

 :salute  Much respect for all the veterans, with a very special place in my heart for those that wore the uniform during WW2.

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.

The guy who spends 5 years flying around without seeing an enemy aircraft who then dies on VJ Day in the process of landing after his final sortie and crashing into an ambulance full of school children who have dysentery.

this is on a hypothetical note. We all know that 99% of us can't amount to what they REALLY did

Well you just never know how a person is going to perform in a critical situation, but given the same training and circumstances I'm pretty sure the % would be a little bit higher. Just getting past the physical I think would be the biggest hurdle with the AH pilots :D

Luftwaffe pilot Erich Rudorffer and his magnificent career or Battle of Britain pilot Brian Carbury, Peter Townsend or an American flying in the Battle of Britain.
