It certainly was a screw-up. What I don't understand is that if the
formation had launched later in the morning, they would have gotten to China later at night. What chance did they ever have of a safe landing? According to everything I've read or seen on TV, with the beacon at the Chinese airfield off, it was nearly impossible to find. Apparently it was a small strip, intentionally camouflaged to hide it from the air. BUFDRVR "Stay on the bomb run boys, I'm gonna get those bomb doors open if it harelips everyone on Bear Creek"
