As you know, an airfield is a very difficult target to disable.

Not with 108 bombs its not! Come on Ed, I split the runways at Batajanica
with
a B-52 two-ship with a grand total of 90 weapons. 2 more two-ships followed

Piece of cake with 56 Marauders dropping a total of 448 500 pounders on it.
Runways unuseable, hanger wrecked, machine shops and ordnance facilites in
flames, barracks gone, bomb dumps all exploded and fuel dumps throwing flames
up to our alltitude.Planes on the ground all burning. It was what we
bombardiers live for. But that was a different war at a different time.
