On the ball as usual Sam. The only draw back the Germans had was the controlling aircraft was vunerable. If they have had air superiority, we may have had a lot of problems. Just think what would have happened at Normandy if they still had an effective offensive airforce.

One of the unheralded results of the strategic bombing campaign was that the Germans didn't have an effective air force over france and the Normandy beaches, what they had left was trying to defend the skies over the Reich.
