Re: Circus, Ramrods, Rhubarbs & Sweeps July 1941
Nope. Polish airmen always described the most common line astern formation with weavers as idiotic and useless to say the least. Apart of that, sending an unexperienced airman (I assume you still was, being few months on the squadron) for this position was indeed carelessness of the commander and command but not yours. It is obvious that young pilots have had enough problems with keeping in the formation, and giving them additional task of weaving and watching back was just senseless if not dangerous. You have survived to fight another day, and that is most important, especially as I guess you had about 300 hrs total flying time.
