Re: A-hopefully NOT TOO Silly-question RE: 'nachwuchs'
Nick, I would say inexperience and yes... total panic and freezing up accounted for many of these losses, many allied pilots reported EA flying straight ahead when under attack.
Also many of the bomber pilot converts had no clue as to what it took to shake off a persuer, and when attacked went into a series of turns of which most allied fighters could easily get inside. Kevin
