WlA these words as a keynote of his
tAlk before tbe cadets of Southern
ArlaUon school recently, LldhL Daniel
Kennedy, a cradoate of the class of
42-C and a participant In approximate
ly 60 missions over enemy territory,
6®^® ^today’s cadets a glimpse into
their future as army pilots.
VtelUng his primary Alma Mater,
Lit. Kennedy related awe-inspiring ex
periences of today’s aerial warfare and
answered qoestions presented by the
cadets.
Lt. Kennedy was attached to a
P-88 Lightning fighter squadron and
saw action against the Germans and
Italians in the Mediterranean area.
He declared that aerial warfare
very seldom presents indiridual dog
fights so characteristic of the last
war. Modem aimraft and modem
technique perasit only fonnattoii tac
tics, w^l planned and executed In
precisioc. >
“Life is cheap over there,** Lt Ken
nedy said, commenting upon hls con
tacts with the enemy, “and you must
really hate the enemy to live.**
The **Jerrie8’’ are. smart and use
their years ot war experience to t^
best advantages. He said that they
really know how to fight ^ ^
The most pleasant sight to % P-$8
fighter is to see one motor dead and
the other carrying the plane safely
home. That “other motor” sav^ his
life in three occasions, he sal^.
When asked If pilots are afraid in
battle, Lt. Kennedy answered that
everyone is scared, but he was quick
to add that not one man in one hun
dred is ever yellow. A pilot who shows
a^streak of cowardice by breaking out
of formation and thereby endangering
the entire flight never lasts long in
this war. Almost all casualties are
caused by planes which have broken
formation, either to save themselves
4|a because of ..other factors. The
is practically foedproof and presents a
very strong team in battle. ^ -
The Germans fight a “vertical*’ war,
^krhereas the Allies use a. ‘borlsotar
technique. Lt Kennedy described !he
German methods as being very simple
hut also very, effective. Their most
efficient offensive tactic is to hide
^in the sun” at high altltndes,. dive
upon their 'prey, and then gain altitade
again. However, they seldom afbick
at even odds but nsually attack when
they have the distinct advantage.
In describing Italian pilots, he said
that they were always eager to tight
but that they Just didn’t know how to
fight. Lt Kennedy described one ini
cident where an Italian pilot climbed
to meet an entire formation of Ameri
can planes. The Italian found him
self in front of his prey. Instead of
getting out of the way he took a 80-
second burst of tire which riddled hls
plane* He began to lose altitude and
merely settled in front of a lower
formation of Ligbtnihgs. That for
mation riddled him again. He lost
more altitude, was pulverised by more
lean strategy formation flying formations from a lower group and
he literally ranlahed Into the air.
The English have better Individual
istic pilots than the Americans, Lt.
Kennedy thought, but the Americans
present a better" team and work bet
ter in groups than do the R. A. F. He
holds the highest esteem for the R.
A. F, and said that It has one of the
Unest organisations in' the world. “The
B^lisb really have guts,” he said.
*n hls opinion the Havoc, A;29, is
a remarkable ship, and the Junkers 88
Is the only enemy plane that can come
anywhere near its performance.
Seldom realised or comprehended
by the layman is the difficulty pre
sented in identifying aircraft. Lt.
Kennedy said that a great per cent
of aircraft casualties are caused by
failure to identify other craft. His
own ship has b^n fired upon by
other Allied planee.
Lt Kennedy concluded his talk by
declaring that today’s cadets have
every advantage conceivable to make
the'best pilots in the world. He said
that when he received his wings many
plaims were yet'untried. Cadets to
day will receive training in ships
which have proven themselTW tiM
best
