Re: How accurate can U.S. fighter-bombers be?

I quite liked Flags, but Letters was awesome, I really liked it. Eastwood has come a very long way from his first direction roles.

As to the question of pilot accuracy during WW2. I have read quite a bit of stuff about WW2 and for the most part it seems that the ground/air communication and sighting systems were rudimentry. Weather had a dramatic effect on the ability to confirm targets or differentiate between friend and foe. Aircraft based friendly fire was a major cause of death and injury during WW2.
