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.


It would be a matter of priorities, the night bombers got Gee first
because they needed it more and the Pathfinder Squadrons had
priority within Bomber Command
