In 1943-45; 90% of heavy bombers were shot down from below the wings.


Not sure about the percentage, but many Bomber Command a/c were
brought down by Luftwaffe a/c equipped with upward
shooting cannon pointed up at about 70 degrees. They did not
use tracer so these casualties didn't know what hit them.

Schragge Musik!
