Re: REVUE and BAEDECKER missions

I think Baedecker flights were sight seeing over bombed out Germany cities, for the benefit of ground crew passengers. Named after a tour guide book, or a tour company. The term was first used by the Luftwaffe, who allegedly picked UK bombing targets out of a Baedecker guide in 1942.
