One can be a great pilot, but a lousy project manager.
The qualities of PILOT are not the same a BUSINESS SKILL.
I PERSONALLY met D. Greenamyer on
another project that ended in fiery failure, and I can tell you he did not strike me as a good manager.
He bungled the B29 recovery, they should have been ready to come back the next year and not push it.
