Subject: Night bombers interception in Western Europe in 1944
From: "Keith Willshaw" Date: 7/16/2004 5:03 AM Pacific Standard Time Message-id: "ArtKramr" wrote in message ... Subject: Night bombers interception in Western Europe in 1944 We offered to give the Brits B-17's each with a big fat belly turret.They wouldn't take them. Big mistake. The RAF operated at least one squadron of B-17's and a number of B-24's Bomber command were NOT impressed by the type and operated them mainly as EW aircraft jamming German communications Keith They were getting the **** shot out of them every night as they flew planes with no belly turrets. And hey used the planes with belly turrrets, B-17's and B-24's for electronic jammimg? Brilliant. Just brilliant.
