US bombers "landed on the continent" - how returned?
The occasions where American bombers "landed on the continent" or "landed in Allied territory" are numerous. Flak damages, engine trouble and so on.
If the bomber could be repaired at its unexpected landing site, how was the return flight to its home base organized? Squadron reports rarely (if ever) mention that a crew was sent out to pick up their bomber 'on the continent'. If there was some sort of pool of pilots (in a Service Command?) to do those return flights, then I'm happy to hear so. Regards, Leendert
