A question about the weapons systems; my memory from the time is that the ordinance was effectivey dropped ballistically on a lat and long, there being no laser target designators, yet the PDF above talks a lot about 'laser guided' Paveways. I also understood that several/most of the targets were missed, this was attributed by some to the Wermacht-produced maps of northern Libya not being aligned with WGS 84. Can anyone who knows more about this or remembers the raid better than I comment, please?
