[Milsurplus] Common sense- Pappy's stories

[James C Whartenby]

For the Japanese forces to communicate with US forces in WW2, all that
would be need is a downed US aircraft with an intact radio.  Radar may
have been scarce, and navigation equipment rare but almost all carried
comm.  Also, by Boyington's accounts, training, bad weather and sloppy
maintenance had a greater toll on both pilots and planes then enemy fire.
