Enemy Planes At 5 O’Clock
A tail gunner was being court-martialed.
“What did you hear in your headset?” demanded a superior officer.
“Well,” replied the airman
“I heard my squadron leader holler, ‘Enemy planes at 5 o'clock!”
“What action did you take?' persisted another officer.
“Why, sir,” replied the gunner, “I just sat back and waited
It was only 4:30.”
