I am sure glad you posted that. Sometimes it feels like it's just me and
Sinclair.

My pre-conceived notions don't show me that the USAAF had only @ 100 heavy
bombers available for day to day operations prior to mid-May, 1943.

My pre-conceived notions don't tell me that these aircraft bombed using only
the "mark I eyeball."

My pre-conceived notions don't tell me that the Germans began bringing the day
fighters home in April, 1943.

My pre-conceived notions don't tell me that the Germans felt the need to
disperse the aircraft production in May, 1943.

My pre-conceived notions don't tell me that this reinforces what Galland said
-- the day bombers received more attention than the night bombers as 1943 wore
on, even though the night bombers were more numerous.

My pre-conceived notions don't show me, but the data above does -- that it was
not all "area bombing" as one RAF apologist -- maybe it was you -- suggested.
