Default Re: Confederate AF visit

Read somewhere that an airman in the 8th AF had a greater chance of getting killed than a Marine in the Pacific. Something like a 70% chance of being a casualty. I've got an uncle who turned 17 on Guadacanal, went from there all the way to China. He said the worst was Okinawa because it lasted the longest. I kind of feel about air combat like sea combat, gravity is a problem, If you can't fly or swim for a long time you are a goner.
