Night bombers interception in Western Europe in 1944

In fact I think it is still burning to this
day. See " Wurzburg" on my website.

Thanks Art. What was the proportion of group missions vs those of squadron or
fewer aircraft? Another tactics question. Was there a reason why those 21
B-17s wouldn't have been sent on that same mission at lower level if accuracy
was that much of an issue? Or was it just the luck of the draw that one unit
went instead of another? In other words, why send 350 men and 56 planes when
21 and 210 men ata lower altitude might have accompliahed the same thing? Was
the speed and the slapper size of the B-25 a factor in the decision?
