He told me that the only real reason to fly a Navy bomber at altitude was to ice up beer.

Most planes have their range rather drastically reduced to make up for operational fuel usage (circling to wait for a squadron to form up, flying around bad weather, flak concentrations, etc.) i am not sure they just used a flat percentage or what, though

Knocking off 900 miles seems a bit drastic actually. IMHO your statement would approxiamate truth only if the word "ALLIED" were inserted after "Most".


Yes, well i suspect the same as well, but didn't want to start another Japan vs. Allied bias flame thread...
