Re: Luftwaffe Long Range in Atlantic Summer 1942
Nick,
Are these curves simply radii from the base? To reach Iceland I'd have thought it necessary to fly a considerable dogleg to avoid British defences, which would distort the shapes and (effectively) place Iceland further away.
There's also the question that first occurs to an ex-peformance engineer such as myself. Are these genuine operational radii, with allowances for combat and diversions, with reserves, or simply half the quoted range?
