reckon I could manage a navigators job.

This is interesting. The b29 is so complicated to fly that it really
takes two people to fly even if you don't have to deal with the engines.
Mostly because the controls aren't very user friendly and require a lot
of attention. For instance, there are a lot of instantaneous switches
that have to be held down for a long period scattered all over the
cockpit. You run out of hands fast. At some point I will have to make a
nasal co-pilot. It's that or lose historical accuracy by simplifying a
lot of stuff, which I don't want to do. Having a *real* co-pilot would
really kick ass.
