Poor flight discipline by Luftw. pilots ==> high accident rates

Roger, your paper is very interesting on a quick look through. I've downloaded it & will digest it in depth over the next few days. I have read more thoroughly your section on the Luftwaffe & I wonder how much of that was down to national temperament & traditions, & how due to a very bureaucratic & hide bound RLM administration which maybe stifled innovation & change & from my reading persisted in some of these attitudes right to the later days of the war, all the more incredible when the RAF & USAAF had made huge gains in innovation & professionalism in their wartime training regimes.
