Me 262 should have been used as a bomber?

[Graham Boak]

Kutscha: Not a lot of point in taking photos at any altitude if cloud covers the intended target, though weather reconnaissance is an important part of any intelligence gathering, of course, and there remains the possibility of alternative targets where the weather could be better. It was a fairly common event during the war, and built into the operating procedures. Therefore there is little point to the last posting. (I don't think the PR Mk.XIX always operated at 14km either - but then it didn't need to.)

Roger: Examples of the Ar 234 were shot down on their missions over Allied lines. If this counts as not being harassed we have different dictionaries.

This discussion has moved significantly away from its original intent. If it has dissolved into a pissing contest then Ruy should close it down.
