Thread drift, but this is probably the place to get an answer.
I was watching The History Channel, when there was made the bald statement that; 'The B-17 dropped one third of all the bombs of WWII'.
This was not justified at all, and seeing as how late the B-17 was brought into the European theatre and how well know it was for its poor bomb load, can anyone confirm, justify or repudiate this?
Maybe because it carried many 'teeny weenie bombs' compared to the rather large items that a/c such as the Lancaster carried.
WRT the Pacific theatre, surely the B-29 carried much more than the B-17?
Just asking.
