But the trying winter campaign of the Crimean war also showed up defects traceable to his long connexion with the formalities and uniform regulations of military offices in peace time.

Lord Raglan was possibly to blame in representing matters in a too sanguine light, but it afterwards appeared that the chief neglect rested with the home authorities.

Aerial refueling - at constant speed, while the receiver takes a standard position behind and below the tanker. Modern tankers have lights which illuminate the areas outside this range, so that if the pilot can see them, he is directed to fly back towards the desired spot. Once in position, the receiver pilot flies formation with the tanker, although this can be complicated by turbulence in its wake. The crewman operating the boom, called a boomer or boom operator (in the USAF, usually an enlisted sergeant), then unlatches the boom from its stowage position, and directs it towards the receiver by "flying" it with the attached wings.
