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.
