to published top speed of a c-130 is 374 mph
distance from Benghazi to Crete is 347 miles... less then one hour.
use that radius to estimate hours from target... 6 hours being the max range to have responded within time
3 destroyers were easily in range. assuming c-130 stationed somewhere in Italy, it could have been done just looking at this map and assuming personnel that should have been available
Sten, you’ll get no argument from me, but the top speed of our nearest helpful ship would not have been 347 miles per hour.
We are talking ships here. That’s what Judicial Watch focused on. I think they’re blowing smoke here.
You have focused on the air, and that’s exactly right.
