Good video. Could be used as a promotional video for strat bombing and the importance of fighter escort. Sux not having any fighters with you. Let there be a lesson for that last bomber in the conga line...always watch the 6 for the group.

For part of it, he was rolling to avoid Alli (our only escort that run I believe). Think another 109 ended up damaging Alli and then we were pretty much on our own after that

And if the bombers had of corkscrewed than realigned to target they would of had a better chance of survival.

The last bomber should always break away and draw the ea off towards escorts.
