.75 Kills? Yea, I was wondering about that myself. Giving a co-pilot credit?
Just guessing but in the Pacific he might have had a tail gunner. If he set up a shot for him he might have been awarded 3/4.
I was at Pearl when Tora-— was made. Might have rubbed elbows with him. It was absolutely fascinating to watch those guys fly between the buildings in the industrial area. Yeah, they actually let them do that. Some of us watched from the roof of our nuke office. One of the portal crane operators who had been operating a crane Dec. 7 was still there and they let him take a few swings with his crane boom.
