Fly tight for tight bomb patterns on the ground.

If you're trying to wreck fresh bomb craters, the tighter the better.

Is that that the result of the many missions you flew and your experience with
formation variations and the effect on bomb patterns? BTW, how many missions
did you fly? Could you give us details?

Art, have you never heard of research?

Your individual experience is limited.... one man's view of what happened.

And you both have it all wrong. I did my research at 10,000 feet over the Ruhr
valley.
