Subject: How did the Brits do it?
From: "M. J. Powell" Date: 3/10/04 3:14 PM Pacific Standard Time Message-id: In message , ArtKramr writes snip We didn't get Gee until late in 1944 when we flew our first Gee mission..Hated it because we couldn't see the damage we had (or had not) done. I remember the briefing before the first Gee mission. we were ttoldf the Germans knew nothing about Gee. On our first mission we got German jamming grass over our scopes. Not too efficient because we could still see the blips and complete the mission ok. I used Gee III once, in a Javelin. Trouble was by the time I'd lined up the pips and plotted onto a chart we were 60 miles further on... 450 knots does that. Mike -- M.J.Powell We didn't do it that way. when the pips came together it was bombs away and g'bye Fritz. ..
