Not at all what Col. Harry Borowski who wrote “Hollow Threat” wrote in his history of the early bomber program. Quite the contrary, a device is a device, a bomb is a bomb. Things that work well stationary in reasonably controlled conditions may not work at all in different atmosphere, pressure, other conditions. I trust his work.
