I didn’t know Ike was a qualified pilot either. I like how his trainers called him a poor pilot lol.

Maybe he was trying to inspire some of his more timid commanders cough cough Montgomery.
Honestly, I think it was for his own piece of mind. Casualties were high….I think he wanted to eyeball for himself to see that everything that could be done was done.
