Digging in to the old brain cells, an example was the 2A evasive bomb run.
A would be Combat crew might have to get 3 attacks out of 5 within 1600 yards. The Select Star crew might have had to get one within 1000 yards and one within 1200 yards.
In both case, for example, the Combat crew might get # 1,2 and 5 in the limits and therefore succeed. OTOH if they got 1 and 5 they then needed to get 6 and 7 in limits. If 6 was out they would need to get 8 or 9 in.
The Select Star crew merely had to get 2 together.
Operationally the evasive bomb run would have been flown around FL 480 or higher at about M 0.86. The wind direction was in the lap of the gods.
In training crews tended to fly at FL 410-430, chose an in to wind track, and brought the speed back to 0.84. They would also aim to roll out nearer 20 miles to bomb release rather than 15.
