Pilot Rotation
It's well documented how pilots in the Luftwaffe in WWII bascially flew till they fell in the cauldron of war.
But it seems that the German Air Force of WWI was equally guilty of keeping pilots at the Front for the duration; excluding short (a week or two) leave periods. The French also appear to make that mistake. Whereas the RFC had, sensibly, a hard and fast rule of rotating pilots back to Home Establishment after a fixed time at the Front. To the benefit of Instructing establishments and the pilots themselves. Anyone know why the difference in outlook? |
