Lonan3 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 German bombers who'd failed to find their targets regularly ditched their bombs wherever they could (most often in the sea) in order to have enough fuel to return home. [Mind you, they probably swore that every single one had landed on the target!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
