Bombers in the night

Hello Johannes,

You wrote this:

"2, the bombers were not able to escape using maneuvre like diving-away that looked like the aircraft was going down."

Are you aware of the RAF "corkscrewing" evading manoeuvre created with the help of a Ju 88 night-fighter which had landed in Scotland? I own a copy of an English book on this story but where is the bl... book right now?

Corkscrewing certainly made it possible for dozens, possibly hundreds, of RAF bombers to escape their tormentors (but not Harris), at least provisionally. They bloody needed this help.
