![]() "DeepSea" wrote in message . 136... snip .... . The RAF bombers didn't do high altitude stuff, _most_ of the bombing _against England was dive bombing_, Really? Please define _most_ and _dive_ bombing, in your statement. FWIW, AIUI, _Dive_ bombers were used against the Chain Home sites at the beginning of the Luftwaffe's Bombing campaign - and against such defined sites the dive bombers would have been an appropriate resource to task, but AFAIK the bombing campaigns against Liverpool, Coventry, Plymouth, Portsmouth, Southampton, London et.al were carried out at night by waves of 'level' bombers. Your information may of course be more accurate - I await your disclosures with interest. BTW; as you specifically mentioned 'England', I've not addressed the question of whether dive-bombers were used against Scotland, Northern Ireland and/or Wales. -- Brian |
