At Remagen, the weather was terrible most of the time and the jets were often bombing under EGON guidance.

Thank you for the information, Nick; much appreciated.

I would also appreciate information about how the German jets bombed under EGON guidance, and the accuracy obtainable by their version of Oboe/GEE-H?
