How accurate was B-26 bombing?

Go to my website to the section titled, "MISSIONS AND RESULTS". Click on "The
Bridge at Verberie" then" Wurzburg" to see how effective we were. Then peruse
the other 10 strike photos to get a good idea of precision bombing at its best.
The Bridge at Verberie is an example of putting a bomb in a pickle barrel from
10,000 feet.

Was that ONE bomb, Art, in that "pickle barrel", or did a flight of several
aircraft string them out a little? In another post you told us how easy it
was from tem thousand feet -- "point blank" you said. Don't tell me they
gave out any medals for the Bridge at Verberie: it would have been
unsportsmanlike to accept one if that was true.

No, no...each and every B-26 hit (within todays "Near-PGM" criteria of 10
meters) with each one of its bombs. Haven't you read Art before?

No medals just pride of workmanship. To see what was going on around us in the
air click on "FLAK" and "ONE WENT DOWN".
