I'm in awe of the Bomber Command (and Luftwaffe) guys who managed to find their targets, particularly before the Pathfinder Force came into being.
The majority didn't in fact, from the Butt report:
Of those aircraft recorded as attacking their target, only one in three got within 5 miles [(8 kilometres)].
Over the French ports, the proportion was two in three; over Germany as a whole, the proportion was one in four; over the Ruhr it was only one in ten.
In the full moon, the proportion was two in five; in the new moon it was only one in fifteen. ...
All these figures relate only to aircraft recorded as attacking the target; the proportion of the total sorties which reached within 5 miles is less than one-third. ...
The conclusion seems to follow that only about one-third of aircraft claiming to reach their target actually reached it.[4]
That is not an attempt to belittle their courage or achievements.
