Kathy: This may look like I just wanted to stick my nose in here (which I do of course), but you would probably be interested in renting a video movie made back in 1970 called "Catch 22".It is about a B-25 outfit that flew out of Italy in WW II.The CO of the Divison in which this Bomb Group was in was playedby Orson Welles and the movie wastruly an oxymoron, in that it was hilarious and sad at the same time. When the crews finished teir required missions, the General kept upping the number of missions required mainly because he couldn't get replacements.Consequently, as they received, promotions, they all ended up as captains. Since your father relates to tis situation, it is well worth looking up.Les
