I recently read a book written by a British WWII Naval Aviator.

He was doing a walk around inspection of his aircraft before takeoff and noticed his fuel filler cap was missing.

He called the mechanic over, showed him the problem, then marched the mechanic to the stockade.

Have you ever seen the documentary on the Doolittle raid that has the story of an engine falling off a B-25 as it was being lifted onto the carrier?

After the planes were loaded, the maintenance chief that was with the group during the training to the loading, gave Doolittle an evaluation form. Needless to say, Doolittle wasn't happy.
