Very true. I'm sure it's not much fun seeing airmen dieing to your sides and knowing you very well could be next.

Actually, your wrong about the Enola Gay crew not seeing others be shot down. As a matter of fact, Paul Tibbets Jr. (The man who flew the Enola Gay) first saw combat with the 8th Air Force during 1942, and later in the Italian theatre. Those were some of the worst times for American bomber crews in Europe. Many were shot down, and many didn't come back. Several other Enola Gay crew members also saw combat before being assigned to the Enola Gay.

So saying none of them didn't see others die in combat ins highly insulting in away, because they probably had friends as well die in the skies over Europe or the Pacific, and maybe even on the ground.

Very moving. Now I feel kinda bad about all the He 111s I shot down in the demo!

You know the old saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" I guess that would apply here :
