"Bernardz" wrote in message news:MPG.1b64d7dd88d46ca0989ae3@news... In article 40fa0ce6$0$1289$5a62ac22@per-qv1-newsreader- A fighter is much smaller, more mobile and generally faster then a bomber. Finding a bomber and recognizing it was hard enough in WW2 how successful were fighters in finding and identifying interceptors at night? By the end of the war they were extremely succesful.One tactic widely used was for the intruders to fly around the NF base. As the airctaft came in to land or took off the Mosquito would swoop in for the kill. By the winter of 1944/45 there were mor intruders flying than German night fighters and they were considerably faster. By the time you loaded down an Me-110 or JU-88 with its heavy guns, radar and antennae it was rather slow and didnt handle at all well. Keith
