Good Morning all, Surprise I is still alive:-)

If I may, the bomb load of a single B-17 at the range from England to Berlin would have been 4,000 pounds. The B-24’s possibly could have carried slightly more, maybe 5,000 pounds or so per aircraft.

As the author said “each” I think it would be a fair statement that he was referencing the individual planes bomb load.

I was unable to find the number of bombers on the March 6th raid, my best guess would have been about 800 or so would have attacked Berlin for a gross tonnage of 1,600 tons approximately.

It should be noted that their were 69 bombers lost on the mission and 11+ fighters according to several articles I saw, not counting the ships that would have been written off once they made it back to England.

Best wishes to you and your Mom Kathy

Best Regards

Good morning, Kathy!

*HUGS*

We didn't get out into the garden yesterday. I repaired my disc sander and did some sanding in the bathroom and in the foyer. We should be able to finish the bathroom this week.

Getting ready to Sally Forth in about 15 minutes. We have a mandevilla to put out but will have to wait a few more days - we're in the mid-30's this morning and it's not hardy below about 40 degrees.

Good morning, Canteen.

Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Star, for preparing
the Canteen for today’s activities.

R I P Col. Donald Blakeslee
Job well done.

Wanted to check in before things got busy.
Weekend went too fast.
As some said recently, "can we get a Sunday do-over?"

Let me tell you, Saturday was cold and miserable!
Will be happy with the warm up this week.
And May is on the way.

Right now, I need to make my rounds.
But please stay right where you are.
Chat up the military or a family member.
No need to fret...you know I'll be back!

The FR Canteen is

Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM ~ DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT

Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allied military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before.

Oops - reread the article, and it does include the word “each”.

[SandRat]

Soon to apply the “ICEY - HOT” bandage.

All you Early Birds
need to stop being so cheerful!
We Night Owls can't handle the morning!

Anyhoooooo....have a good one!
It'll be over soon! :)
((((hugs))))


It's a beautiful morning here, Arrow!
Sunny and cool.
How is it in your neck of the woods?

[PROCON]

Hiya Beachie!

I'm still away from home, staying with BIL. I'm travelling back home this morning.

I'm having a pleasant visit with my sister and BIL, who although married, have separate residences in the same city. (LOL, it's along story).

It's suppose to get into the mid-seventies today by the time I'm home.

OK, more coffee for me, have a great day!

[beachn4fun]

Good morning, night owl
Rise and shine! ((HUGS))

[beachn4fun]

Good morning Pro ((HUGS))

WOW, you trip already over?

Did you have a good visit with daughter-girl?

Hmm, is your sister & BIL’s story similar to you and Mrs. Pro? I bet it is an interesting story (I’m all ears. Well maybe not as your sister may not want me to put a similar “incident” in one of my stories hehe).

We’re going to finally have a warm up on my side of the country, after all May is right around the corner...sheesh.

Have a safe trip home, and take the rest of the week off.
