Airborne Cigar? No thanks.
I've long been aware that Bomber Commands 101 Squadron suffered the biggest losses of all Bomber Command units. However, until recently picking up Raymond Alexanders limited edition booklet 'Special Operations' I wasn't aware that their ABC Lancs attracted night fighters like bees to honey. Active from Jan 1940 to May 45 they lost 98 aircraft, most of them after becoming the jamming specialists.
Question are Elint aircraft always so vulnerable?
