Long-range Spitfires and daylight Bomber Command raids (was: #1
Subject: Long-range Spitfires and daylight Bomber Command raids (was:
#1 From: Guy Alcala We're talking heavies, Art. Longer missions than the mediums, much more time (sometimes three hours or more) spent over defended territory, at alitude on The longer the mission the greater the pilot strain. The tighter the formation the greater the pilot strain. Heavies rarely flew missions as tight as rhe mediums did. acing a much more numerous (and usually more determined) fighter threat. I see you never flew in a medium that was attacked by fighters have you? Are you suggesting that the fighters were serious whee they attacked heavies but just fooling around when they attacked mediums?. Where do you get this crap from? Not an option for the heavies, for the reasons I gave above. They flew tight formation until they'd crossed the coast on the return and started the let down. Are you suggesting that they flew as tight to and from the target as they did on the bomb run? More crap. Arthur Kramer Visit my WW II B-26 website at: http://www.coastcomp.com/artkramer |
