Re: Small B17 bomb bay and bomb load

Hi Ruy,


I tend to agree and although one can look back with hindsight and state that if this or that was done differently then the war may have ended sooner, in a way the supporters of strategic bombing were, in part, theoretically right for although they did not have the means to deliver a quick and decisive knockout blow in Europe, the advent of the atomic bomb, in the hands of only one side or another, made such a decisive blow by air power alone possible....(with all the horrible consequences).

Cheers

Rod
