Re: Ark Royal Swordfish collision October 1939

Hi Brian,

Thanks for your reply and clearing up what the ranks are.

Yes it was the same in the Luftwaffe, if an officer was aboard and a higher rank than the pilot, he would be the mission commander but the pilot retains command of the plane.

Cheers

Alan
