But also, as [??] Dyson reminisced in _Disturbing the Universe_(?). if the percent of bombs that fell in the target area was less than the desired minimum, he was sometimes instructed to increase size of the target area. He also wrote about a study conducted to find out why British bomber crewmen had a lower survival rate from crashes than Americans. The study determined the problem was that the British planes had smaller escape hatches. The study was classified because if the bomber crewmen found out it would probably lower morale. How could I ever forget such inspiring stories from The Great Patriotic War? \brad mccormick > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: Christoph Reuss > Cc: [email protected] > Sent: 5/15/05 4:45 PM > Subject: Re: [Futurework] Bomber Harris? > > Christoph Reuss wrote: > > > [snip] > > > > > ><<The Luftwaffe - in its assault on Guernica, and later London and > Coventry > > - paid homage to Bomber Harris's terror bombing of the Kurds in the > 1920s.>> > > > > > > > > > > > [snip] > > Is this the same Harris -- I seem to recall th > name -- who was in charge of British Bomber Command > in WWII, and who, when pulled aside by a police officer for > driving recklessly fast -- after the policeman told him that > the way he was driving he could kill someone, Harris responded that, > Sir, I kill thousands of people every day. > > "Just do it!" > > ??? > > \brad mccormick > > > -- > Let your light so shine before men, > that they may see your good works....
