Default 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?


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?
