So what? What has that got to do with the RAF?


It shows the RAF were doing no worse than the USAF


Not material to what is being discussed. The USAAF was not running night
bombing raids over Germany.

You're making excuses.

No I'm explaining that the overall loss rates were similar, if
the RAF was defeated by a loss rate of 3.6% so was the
USAAF

In reality neither was, the combined effect was a 24 hour
7 day a week assault on Germany that devastated that
nations economy and infrastructure.

For at least the last year, the RAF was attacking targets that added little to
the final destruction of Germany when it could have done better.

The RAF layed a major part in the oil war in that period.

Which targets do you think were more important ?
