Subject: Greatest Strategic Air Missions?
From: "Keith Willshaw" Date: 8/21/2004 2:01 PM Pacific Standard Time Message-id: "Ed Rasimus" wrote in message .. .

Keith Absolutely. But it was a two pronged effort combining strategic and tactical missions. The heavies hit targets like Ploesti we hit rhe oil storage farms and traffic moving out of refineries like truck convoys and oil storage around airfields and wherever we could find them. But many operations combind both stragoic and tactical in combination. To think of them as totally separate is to be thinking WW I.
