Anybody know about the bombing of Marauders? Wasit accurate?
It was accurate by WWII terms, which wasn't terribly precise. A lot
depended on what altitude they bombed from. The original notion was
that light and medium bombers attacked from low level, and that was
often done in the Pacific theater. Against the German flak that proved
a very costly notion, so they were moved up as high as they could go,
which was about 12,000 feet. At that height accuracy suffered.
I'm sure that Art Kramer will have more detailed information for you.
