Re: Response to Glider and Juha.
You ask, Glider, what I mean by 'accuracy'.
My answer is identical to that given by Squadron Leader Arthur Murland Gill of 84 Squadron RAF (who experienced operating Blenheims and Vengeances) when interviewed by Peter C Smith;
"Dive-bombing with the Vengeance in Burma taught us what it meant to be accurate. For example, to take out vital bridges, I could usually send a couple of Vengeances in with the almost guaranteed certainty that the bridge would be demolished, whereas with the Blenheim I could take the squadron against the same target day after day and rarely, if ever, score a hit."
