Re: German searchlioght accuracy
For the new Nachtjagd Combat Archive series, I have documented some 800 instances where Bomber Command aircraft were coned for a prolonged period of time, which contributed decisively to the destruction of the a/c, by Flak and/or night fighters.
Many of these are presented in vol 2 and vol 3 (1943) which are due to be published later this month and in May this year by Wing Leader Publishing.
In the Helle Nachtjagd procedure, I have also documented many cases where BC aircraft were coned for up to as long as 11 minutes before their were shot down by German night fighters; these will all be presented in detail in the NCA early-war volumes that are due out later this year and in early 2019.
Cheers, Theo
