Re: Me-410 vs Mosquito combat

Have to take issue with:

To put it explicitly, the USAAF had the equipment to do almost anything it wished, even in 1942. It was only when the 8th set itself extraordinary objectives, like bombing Schweinfurt, that it suffered unbearable losses.

In 1942 it could do "anything it wished" - except bomb Germany
In 1943 it could do "anything it wished" - except when it bit off more than it could chew - Schweinfurt etc
In the second half of 1944 it really could do anything it wished. The achievement was great but not as straightforward or predestined as you think

Regards

Martin
