Pilot notes

"Learn all you can about each member of your crew just as soon after he joins your outfit as possible. Where is his home? What is his education? Is he married? What jobs has he had? Where did he get his flight training? How does he like the idea of being assigned to a B-24?"
Pilot Training Manual for the Liberator B-24, AAF Manual No.50-12, 1945.
