Remember too that the Wellington could fly as high as 40000 feet pressurized as early at 1941. At that height it would have been invulnerable but admittedly not able to carry much or a bomb load but is could have flown over Germany in daylight which would have eased the navigational problems
So what about the Junkers Ju86p [Recce, Service Cieling 39500ft] at least one shot down by a modified Spitfire? Could a Luftwaffe fighter not be modded? if so, end of

Sharage Musik, why no countermeasures? The Luftwaffe did NOT use tracer ammo! Ergo... wtf?
As always, I stand to be corrected [Matron.... ]
