Re: FAA Role in the Pacific.?
Gents,
In fairness to the F4F pilot (who’s name I am withholding for obvious reasons) his main criticism was directed at the attitude of the RN / BPF admirals and their rather snobbish and opinionated attitude. ( Nothing new there  )His opinions were formed I believe from a joint British / American operation in July / August 1945. I have no other details. We did not discuss the attributes of the FAA over the Atlantic or in Europe. From what I have read of the posts, there is some truth in his opinion.  A question if the BPF were operating similar aircraft types as the Yanks, on similar operations, against similar targets, why was our tactics so very different.  Did we not take advice from our American Allies, it would not be the first time after all. ?
