    On the flanks and high overhead. With a four mile kill radius for 13 .50 cal MGs on maybe 100 planes you don't want to get too close. (But it happened, of course.)

    A question bomber crews often asked, but it turned out the best strategy was to let the fighters roam freely in search of their German counterparts. Cutting the fighters loose from close escort in spring 1944 was key to achieving supremacy over the Luftwaffe.

    Conversely, Goring - a former fighter pilot - taking his fighters off "frei Jagd" in response to the bombers' demands for close escort contributed to failure in the Battle of Britain.

    Having the little boys outside the lead halo around the bombers let them attack the enemy from the unengaged (by bomber guns) side of the attack. When I was "beating the ground" ahead of our passengers I was constantly worrying about blue-on-blue. We took new teams in to the jungle and showed them the difference between Charles' heavy MGs and our own. This was to prevent them calling "blue shot!", meaning blue-on-blue. The benefit to them was that I didn't stop firing for a mistaken "BLUE!" call.

    The "danger close" call were worse. "Dig in like a tick, they've called out the clans." It helped. Most of the time anyway.

    Interesting pics. The Soviets in the center have one each of the common anti-tank rifles, the bolt-action PTRD in foreground and semi-auto PTRS in background.

    Tank in the bottom photo appears to be a Panzer IIIN with the 75mm L24 gun with the Schutzen armored panels. The IIIN was sometimes used alongside Tigers in heavy panzer battalions, I suppose to spare the big guys having to use their 88s on infantry, AT guns, or other non-armored targets.
