Re: A 'what if' question RE: LW vs 8th AF
Nokose, I know the Poltava raid well, Russian's air defense at that area was no way to be comparable to the British air defense system over UK. And commando style raid may be impressive, but I can not recall a single case of commando style raid had any significant impact to the war in the military history, I will welcome anyone to prove me wrong.
By the way, "Even the Jabo raids if used properly to strike the fuel depot at an English airfield in the evening would have a signal fire effect for follow up bombers", this is much easier say than actaully done, you could look into the combat history of both RAF bomb command and Luftwaffe bomber forces, how much time and effort they spend in this kind of pathfinding tactics, and huge difficulty they are encounted when they tried to hit a city, not an airbase
