Let's see...it was one finger for electrical power, two fingers to start the "huffer" three fingers to shut off the huffer and four fingers to switch to internal electrical power. The "M" version of the A4 had an internal starter and we didn't need the external power to start it up. The problem was early versions of the system didn't always work. The A-4, known as the "scooter" was a wonderful attack aircraft. I did a lot of ACM (air combat manuvering) against Air Force F102s/F106s and we did very well against them. Those guys used WWII tactics and we used newer tactics. Loose duce....A form of the thatch weave. That was fun stuff....exciting. Full power, going straight down, going super sonic, really exciting stuff. I was 26. I'm 80 now and think I could still do it....sorta.
