From a popular song of the time, to the tune of The Battle Hymn of the Republic, aka John Brown's Body
We're flying Flying Fortresses at thirty thousand feet
We're flying over Germany to give the Huns a treat
We've bags and bags of ammo and a teeny-weeny bomb
And we drop the bastard from so high we don't know where it's gone
Fer Chrissakes, the Mosquito had a better bomb load (and a bigger bomb bay??) than a B17. Whats there to have a discussion about re the Lanc? As a bomb truck the B17 wasn't even in the same class. It might have been better for inter-crew football matches I suppose...
