Re: Captured Boston A/c used for Recce flights over the UK ?
Since the ADI(K) report indicates that they would be using Allied IFF, I imagine that the idea was to do the recce work by stealth rather than by speed. And, remember that by this time in the war, there were thousands of Allied a/c going, coming, and what-have-you throughout the day and night. So, if the a/c could flash a valid IFF signal, why waste time intercepting him? So, why not an A20?
