zhivot mitraljesca je bio prilchno teskoban ... on bi se vozio tih nekoliko sati do i od mete i molio se bogu da je avion ispravan i da ga ne pogode. ponekad bi se desilo (ne uvek ,tj ne na svakoj misiji  ) da u njegovo "parche neba" uleti neprijateljski lovac - tad bi zapucao zajedno sa ostalima nadajuci se da ce neki metak pogoditi .

sve u svemu - nema tu mesta da se bude as .

              Ali ima mesta za hrabrost...kao i kod svakog vojnika u borbi !

 ima mesta za savesno vrshenje duznosti - ali velikog izbora nema . jednostavno , kad je vec ushao u avion ,malo toga dalje od njega zavisi .
