jhor9,

Thankyou for your service..

Often seen it written that the US Army had a bad time of it and not highly thought of my other Aliied infantry during the North African Campaign, being relitive newcomers and inexpereinced. Though myself I think its a credit to the US Army and Airforce that it grew so quickly and reached such a high standard in such a short time, I find it fascinating how the 'Yanks' got up to speed so quickly. Did you find the same thing in the airforce? Did you find it hard at first? Did you have much contact with other Allied aircrew?
