@tommypetraglia4688 - Maybe you also learned to (subconsciously?) use your whole vision, not just your central focus. Peripheral vision is designed to pick up things that look out of place - it's in our evolution of survival supposedly.

@Galvars - The poles were able to get posted to USAAF. As far as I know, they were only in China with P-40s (Flying Tigers), but I didn't look it up past that. Later on, somehow, one of them I read about was flying a Mustang. However, I don't know where that happened or how close to then end of the war (not BB).

The introductory graphic of a spiral with arrows actually appears to be that of a Poynting vector diagram used in physics descriptions of light waves and their directional flux.

In incidents like these, the difference between excellent decision making and dumb like is simply in how you choose to see it. When you have seconds to make a key decision, it's sometimes like flipping a coin. Good judgment has nothing to do with it, except for the good judgement to commit to a decision when hedging only makes things worse.
