:47:41
Have Capt. Rickson report
to Operations right after interrogation.
:47:45
No, wait. Send for his copilot instead,
Lt. Bolland.
:47:50
And ask the flight surgeon
to be present.
:47:52
Yes, sir:
:47:54
I suppose if the window had been open,
Rickson would've flown you into the room.
:47:59
- Well, I think he was a little upset, sir.
- Upset?
:48:03
Well, you see, Capt. Rickson
didn't like the idea...
:48:07
...of having to drop propaganda leaflets
on his mission instead of bombs.
:48:10
You mean his little stunt
was a reprisal...
:48:13
...for having to carry out an order
of which he disapproved?
:48:15
I wouldn't exactly say that, sir.
:48:18
What's your opinion of Capt. Rickson's
qualifications as a pilot?
:48:22
The crew feels safe with him, colonel.
:48:24
He's a great pilot. He's pulled us
out of some tight spots.
:48:27
- Are you speaking for the entire crew?
- I believe so, sir.
:48:32
What's your opinion
of Lt. Lynch?
:48:34
I think he's one of the steadiest men
in the group. I'd trust him anywhere.
:48:39
Apparently Capt. Rickson
doesn't agree with you.
:48:41
He feels Lynch is on the verge
of a crackup.
:48:44
- He's asked us to have him grounded.
- Rickson said that?
:48:47
Yes.
:48:49
Well, I think he's mistaken, sir.
:48:52
You see, he and Capt. Rickson
aren't on very good terms.
:48:55
We gathered that.
:48:57
Lieutenant, we feel you're about ready
to command your own plane.
