re: #40 Douchecanoe and Ryan Too

Tricky even for the RAF and Luftwaffe, who made a specialty of nighttime bombing with the best in available navigational and bomb-sighting technology. The Soviets’ air force barely qualified as modern on its best days; reading the Wikipedia article gives some indication as to just how hard-core these ladies had it. I learned something today.

They also had the good fortune not to have to face the Luftwaffe’s first line night fighters such as the HE-219.

But what they did was still very gutsy and required incredible skill.
