Haze is present whenever jet aircraft are flying in numbers. Light reduced by 10% according to some. Crystal clear and blue is only during mass groundings such as the Icelandic volcanic eruption or 9/11 groundings.
The men of that era weren't softened by the luxuries of modern living. Don't judge them by your own capabilities. The reason for using stones rather than bullets has been stated. Stones ripped a big hole in the fabric, bullets made a neat puncture.

Where's the control? A comparison with photographs taken during a grounding is needed. Many factors have to be taken into consideration. It would take a full scale study to make anything approaching a definitive statement. The two major groundings mentioned earlier are the only control I'm aware of. Are there others?.
