Re: Operation Steinbock question
Two wave attack on 21/22-1-1944
Average bomb load
- 2026lb
- 2258lb
raid on 24/25-2-1944
Average bomb load
- 2294lb
This looks well below the published numbers for the a/c taking part in the raids. (~21% of average load capacity)
He 111 H-6 - 4,409 lb (internal) and 5,512 lb (external)
He 177 A-5 - up to 23,760lb
Ju 188E - 9,900lb
Ju 88 - 5,511 lb
Do 217M-1 - up to 8,818 lb
Average - 10,700lb
Any numbers for the actual bomb loads carried by each type of bombers?
