  1. Yeah, the blimps were surprisingly effective escorts, even without radar. They had great visibility and could loiter around a convoy for a long time. I feel a bit sorry for their aircrews, mind. Imagine the scene., a Pensacola bar. An attractive blonde approaches three naval aviators. Girl: So, flyboy; what sort of plane do you fly? Pilot 1: I fly an F6 Hellcat, miss. The plane that wiped out the Zeros at the Turkey Shoot. Girl: What about you, tall, dark and handsome? Pilot 2: I fly an F4U Corsair, miss. The plane that drove the japanese out of the Solomons. Girl: And you, hot stuff? Piĺot 3: I fly the Goodyear blimp, ma'am, and we've never lost a collier
