I have tracked down and interviewed ~2 dozen Mosquito airmen and read most
of
the available works about them - first I have heard this. One hundred
knots
over the target would have been absolute suicide.
TV strikes again; within a couple of years, folks will all "agree" that
this
was a fact. :\
A dozen agincourt longbowmen with fire arrows could have brought down
the wooden wonder at that speed.
How exactly did they aim the bombs?
The British A-2 bombsight.
