Many years ago there was a short piece in Straight and Level (Flight International) which I wish I had kept which made a bombing effectiveness comparison between the modern Tornado force and the RAF bombing strength in WW2.

The conclusion was that for the WW2 RAF to be as effective they would have needed a bomber force far larger than was ever fielded during the war.

Maybe a large force of precision Mosquitos would have been a better option.
Training the crews to the standard would probably have been the problem.


While on the subject of "Flight" my other favourite piece again not kept was an advert which read

"Wanted for Enterprise type starship. White paint capable of withstanding warp factor 9"
Often wondered what that was about!!!
