Re: Me 262 should have been used as a bomber?
Just a quick note on outnumbering the Luftwaffe. IIRC, the Eastern front in the final stages of the war might have seemed a better area to demonstrate the effect of overwhelming numerical superiority against the Luftwaffe. However, using the Luftwaffe's own data, loss rates per mission were several times higher in the West versus the East. There are many factors which may have affected the numbers, but allied numeric superiority is probably overplayed and does not give enough weight the relative level of tactics, training and equipment opposing the Luftwaffe late in the war.
Best Regards, Artie Bob |
