Both played their part in final victory and young men
of both air forces flew their missions knowing their chances of survival were poor. But now the "pickle barrel" accuracy they set for a goal is belittled and made fun of by the people they helped to save. The "pickle barrel" claim originated with propagandists of the Norden Company and the War Department, not the brave men who flew the missions. The U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey was quite critical of the effectiveness of strategic bombing. This in no way reflects on the courage and sacrifice of the men who flew the missions. vince norris |
