Blakely finding out what Crosby got on the Aviation Cadet Qualification Exam and immediately starts humble bragging about bagging one of the smartest navigators in the entire Eighth Air Force without so much as a fight. Like I’m picturing Croz having done stupid well because it’s just an exam on paper to him, so maybe of the 150 points he got 140 or something equally ridiculous. And considering the average was somewhere around 107, he did phenomenally.

(added context about the exam below)

Context: The Aviation Cadet Qualifying Exam, also known as the AC-10-A, is an exam that was used to determine if a man was well suited for a role on an air crew. It consisted sections on vocabulary, reading comprehension, practical judgement, mathematics, “alertness to recent developments”, and mechanical comprehension. And though it usually took two hours to complete, the length of time it took for the men to complete did not affect scores in any way. You can read more about the test in the source document I linked below, which is an official report prepared by the Psychological Division of the Office of the Air Surgeon within the Headquarters of the Army Air Forces, published in October 1942.

In terms of scores, navigators outperformed both the pilots and bombardiers according to the data collected from individuals tested at Maxwell Field in January 1942. Navigators averaged the highest mean score with 112.34, followed by pilots with a mean score of 105.72 points, and then bombardiers with a mean score of 103.34 points.
