Subject: Night bombers interception in Western Europe in 1944

All the B-26 units in Italy were eventually phased out, as they had been in
the
Pacific, so that eventually B-26s only operated in the ETO.

Phased out is the wrong term. They were yanked out and rushed up to the ETO
where the demands were much higher and targets much tougher. Only the best were
used in the ETO. The only reason a piece of equipment was taken out of the ETO
is because it couldn't cut.
