Subject: Night bombers interception in Western Europe in 1944


We offered to give the Brits B-17's each with a big fat belly turret.They
wouldn't take them. Big mistake.

The RAF operated at least one squadron of B-17's and a number of B-24's
Bomber command were NOT impressed by the type and operated them
mainly as EW aircraft jamming German communications
