And over 1/3 of those bombs landed within 1,000 feet of the aiming point
during
1944. The USAAF was capable of some pretty fair accuracy for the time

Gosh, Walt, that's *terrible* accuracy! So two-thirds landed a mile or
fifty miles away, or in another country altogether?


It's pretty good accracy when compared to some.

"A total of 377 aircraft returned with bombing photographs which showed either
ground detail or fires on the ground which could be plotted. It was estimated
that only ten of these aircraft bombed the built up area of Berlin and that
most bombs fell in a long spread up to thirty miles south of the city."
