No, that's not totally incorrect. When the weather was good B-17s delivered their bombs very accurately for that period. How accurately was that?? All the B-17s "toggle" their loads at the same time and only ONE bombardier doing the aiming! Bombs scattered over an area on the ground equal to the area of the spread of the aircraft in the air. Of course one can claim that at least one or two of the hundreds of bombs dropped hit the target so there is the proof of "very accurately"! That's not how it was done. They did not release bombs simultaneously, each bomber in formation released upon seeing the preceding bomber release its bombs. |
