"Gunnery Approaches" – Page 5 of WWII USAAF Fighter Pilot Training Manual, CBI Theater Archive
Page 5 of a confidential U.S. Army Air Forces training pamphlet titled 'Gunnery Approaches,' part of the WWII China-Burma-India Theater Archive. The text instructs fighter pilots that effective aerial gunnery, like athletic skill, results from disciplined and repeated practice rather than improvisation, illustrated with a humorous cartoon comparing an unprepared pilot to a knocked-out boxer.
