Subject: More long-range Spitfires and daylight Bomber Command raids,
From: Guy Alcala

Well, I've established from ACM Kramer (before the pointless abuse
alienated me entirely) that he never flew with more than 4,000lb
bombload, despite the fact the

Range baby range. Radius of action. Getting there and getting back. Eight 500
pounders on most missions flown in auto lean well throttled back at 180
IAS..The exceptions were when we carried incendiaries or the one Nepalm
mission. Glad when that one was over.
