The bombers invading French airspace were dealt a devastating blow. At the same time, the bomber troops flying to Berlin had just flown over Dutch airspace.
Squadron commander Craig brown, flying his own bomber, sailed straight ahead. They have been flying for more than an hour.
"Squadron leader, we received a message from London that another of our troops was intercepted by the Germans." There was a sound in the headset.
It was intercepted by the Germans! Originally, they were used as bait. After all, according to their assumption, the German night fighter force is not very good. If the Germans intercept in Paris, the pressure on their side will be greatly reduced.
"Now, no matter what else, concentrate on completing our combat tasks." Craig said.
At this time, their bombers were flying at an altitude of 7500 meters, at which they could have a greater range.
They faced many difficulties in this bombing mission. They must pay attention to fuel consumption at any time. They must fly according to the correct route. If there was a slight difference, they could not complete the bombing operation.
Only by dropping the bomb over Berlin can we give London the greatest confidence and inspire the British people. Their task is very arduous!
At this time, the navigator in front of the nose was the most nervous. When they just flew over Holland, they successfully found a big city below and corrected their course. Now, after a long distance, they have only flown half of it.
"Found, found!" The navigator suddenly shouted. In his headphones, he heard the voice of radio Berlin. At this time, the speech of German propaganda minister Goebbels was playing. It was sonorous and powerful, shouting the determination to carry out an extermination attack on Britain and land in Britain.
When he heard the radio, the navigator finally relaxed.
At a time when the British radio navigation technology could not reach the practical stage, the current navigation method was a opportunistic but normal way.
Is to use each other's radio! As long as you receive the other party's radio signal, and the signal strength is getting stronger and stronger, there will be no problem. You must be flying towards the target!
In later generations, when the islanders secretly attacked Pearl Harbor, they also made such a trick by receiving the radio signal from Hawaii to determine the target location.
If you find the signal, there will be no problem. Fly towards the target!
The navigator relaxed and marked it on the chart. This straight line will extend all the way to Berlin!
The flight continued. Ten Blenheim bombers formed a formation at high altitude. At this time, there were sparse starlight. In the starlight, the aircraft continued to fly forward and fly.
Time passed little by little. After an hour, the pilot finally felt something wrong.
They have been flying continuously for more than two hours. This long-distance flight is a great test for everyone's spirit and physical strength! Although they had rested during the day, and they had to meet Prime Minister Churchill before they set out, Churchill encouraged them.
But now they are tired.
"According to the route, the target should be right below us." The pilot said, "but now there's nothing below us!"
Craig frowned. At this time, he was still wearing an oxygen mask, which made him look more bloated, and his words changed a tone: "so, there is only one case. Berlin may be blackout."
The lights in Berlin, which was bright at night, have been turned off. It must have been the bombers that sneaked into Paris that made the Germans vigilant!
"No, we can still receive signals from Berlin Radio in our radio station. Berlin is still ahead of us!" Just then, another bomber uploaded a debate: "we should continue to fly!"
"How is that possible? According to the route, we must be over Berlin!" The pilot here immediately retorted.
In the radio, the voice of argument came.
"Fool, according to the route, we must have encountered a strong wind. We are likely to be more than ten kilometers or even dozens of kilometers away from the target!"
In this era, navigation is very difficult. One of the problems is that aircraft don't know their speed.
In flight, the aircraft must know its own speed. This speed is measured through the air flow, that is, the aircraft measures the speed relative to the air.
If the air is also flowing, the speed will change.
What the aircraft needs is the ground speed, that is, the speed relative to the ground. If it flies against the wind, the airspeed is less than the ground speed, especially after a long flight, the accumulated error is even greater!
This error was not accurately measured until later generations. In about 43 years, Germany used a radar device to measure the ground speed. Yes, this technology was first invented by Germany.
Now, the British have to face the fact that they have lost their way!
What should I do?
If they fully believe in instruments, then Berlin should be below. They need to lower the altitude, hover nearby, strive to find Berlin and then launch bombing.
If they believe in Berlin's radio, they should continue to fly forward. Berlin is still ahead of their route!
What should I do? At this time, Craig's judgment was completely tested, and Craig almost gave the order after a little thinking.
The fleet is divided into two groups, one team, continue flying, two teams, hovering and descending!
This is perfectly in line with the British thinking. Since you can't be sure, just act separately!
You know, these ten bombers alone can't blow Berlin up. Their bombing, most importantly, is a symbolic meaning. They are to boost British morale and tell the British people that they have the ability to launch a counterattack against Germany!
Now, if they fail to complete the task, it will be a heavy blow to their morale. It is for this reason that Churchill will personally cheer them up.
They can't fail!
Therefore, they should act separately. Even if only one bomber finds Berlin, it will be their victory. Even if only one bomb is dropped, they will succeed!
The Bomber Squadron immediately executed Craig's order.
Craig didn't continue to fly forward. He believed in his pilot. It seemed that he had a hunch that Berlin was below!
Well, next, he's going to circle here with four bombers!
How high? Now, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. As long as it is reduced to a height of about 500 meters, he will be able to see clearly.
Even if he is hit by anti-aircraft guns, he will throw the bomb over Berlin!
Five bombers circled nearby, circling and lowering their altitude.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
