Don't forget the RAF Lancasters and Mosquitoes, which put on the night
firebombing raids, the which did more damage to German cities.
Cite concerning Mosquitos firebombing, please.
They operated as Pathfinders, which were an integral part of the RAF
night bombing campaign. The bomber streams didn't operate alone.
Placing the Mosquito among the
four area bombers mentioned (five, counting the Enola Gay herself) is the same
as including a scalpel among a box of cleavers. They didn't bomb cities, they
attacked addresses.
They did that, too, along with a boatload of other jobs.
