  • Hi,

    I'm wondering what source you used to find out this information:

    "Divebombing as a technique also proved very vulnerable to flak. Whereas the average ammunition expenditure to bring down a High Level Heavy Bomber in 1944 was around 16000 shells per kill, to bring down a Divebomber, the ammunition expenditure for the allies was somthing less than 1500 rounds per kill. Fighter Bombers were somewhat less prone to flak damage, at around 6000 rounds per kill."

    From this thread: http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/aviation/dive-bombing-improves-accuracy-how-much-22587.html

    Thanks
    That's a surprise, would love to meet up but I not sure when as my program is somewhat booked with visitors from UK for the next week and then I'm into hospital for a quick op which has about a 6 weeks recover period. My partner and I are both retired so I'm not stuck to weekends so if your coming into town and feel like a cuppa, drop us a line and call in. My email address so we can keep in touch until a better time
