Re: Mosquito's to Oberhausen 21-1-1944 ?
I don't know how many channels they could jam at one time. In the earlier days I believe they were only operating on one or two Oboe channels. I have some D-Day information that shows they were using 5 different channels simultaneously on a single target, a mix of Mk.I & Mk.II Oboe. That meant there were 10 ground stations assigned to track the 5 Mosquitos who were making their target runs at the same time. If the Germans could only jam a single channel at a time then it would be an effective solution to use more channels on any op to improve the results. PD failures were probably happening 25-30% of the time from what I can see in the ORBs. The more important the target, the more aircraft they assigned to ensure that some got through to mark or bomb.
Any ideas on how many channels they could jam at one time?
