Strange CAP results

Great link Kwik E Mart! Thank you.

Rob I absolutely agree re the 100ft missions.

Still, on high alt missions, since planes have the tendency to climb much slower in thin air I think a sweep would have reached the assigned altitude long before
the actual attack run to compensate for this.

witpqs: the sneaky bastards also dropped bombs, though only the shells hit. (I think this was also because my CAP disrupted the attack)
Must have been low level naval attack.

"Raid spotted at 47 NM, estimated altitude 8,000 feet."
 
I'm curious to know the stats of the "detecting" units.  They have their estimation wrong, obviously.  What we assume, is that they were "spotted by a guy standing right underneath the aircraft"... but perhaps they were spotted via "sound detector", or a hungover korean guard enslaved by the Japs that didn't care, or a new guy that didn't know what a Beaufighter was and mistook it for a B29...etc.etc.etc.  It makes me wonder if a seargent didn't think they were just a flight of B17's coming in from the states.
