Aircrew sidearms
Which WW2 aircrews were issued with sidearms? German bomber and fighter crews are often depicted with Lugers and Walthers. Was it only officers who carried them? Or is this a myth? Weren't Krieger Drillings issued?
British aircrew seem never to carry pistols. Any reason for this? Only the pilots on US B29s seemed to be carrying Colt 45s. "Pearl Harbour" depicted the Doolittle Raid crews making good use of their Colts, another Hollywood myth?
