I have tracked down and interviewed ~2 dozen Mosquito airmen and read

most
of
the available works about them - first I have heard this. One hundred

knots
over the target would have been absolute suicide.

TV strikes again; within a couple of years, folks will all "agree" that

this
was a fact. :\


A dozen agincourt longbowmen with fire arrows could have brought down
the wooden wonder at that speed.

How exactly did they aim the bombs?



The British A-2 bombsight.




I forewarn you of my up an comming critical attack on the Norden next
week. I would welcome your comment.



I am no longer subscibed to this NG but I do look in now and again. I'll try to
look in and catch it if I get a chance..
