That would require a pretty big shift in doctrine, I think. IIRC, the RN used two seat fighters for strike escort, scouting and long range interception while single seat fighters were used strictly for point defense duties. Where I'm hazy is if that doctrine developed because of the aircraft that the RAF saddled the FAA with, or if the aircraft they used were developed because of doctrine. Doctrine developing as a result of available airframes is much easier to change with new aircraft. While if the doctrine came first, that would be much more entrenched and far harder to change.Could the Miles Master serve as our two seat fighter? Have one two seater per flight, singles for the rest?
