58. Back in the day, navigators, bombardiers, pilots did it all by hand.

Navigators looked at the stars for night flying.
Used a sextant and slide rule.

During WWII my USAF father was flying the Burma Hump over the Himalayas.
Very high altitude, freezing weather, no maps, uncharted territory.
Dangerous topography.

In Viet Nam he was flying Air Refuelers over enemy territory so bombers
and recon planes could fly deep into enemy territory.

Then flew Cargo in Viet Nam.
Dropping off supplies to Marines and Army in combat zones.
Picking up dead bodies.
Runways were non existent.
Planes didn't even stop, just did touch and go landing.
Threw supplies out the cargo bay as plane is moving.
GIs on. the ground threw body bags in the cargo bay.
Enemy bullets were flying everywhere.

USAF did this kind of thing all the time.
Didn't ask for accolades, most of it highly classified.
Didn't need their feathers rubbed or want praise.
Did it because it was their job and they were proud to
work for the American people.
