Danny,
Just a quick question on the VV and the bombing profile you flew back then. As a Dive bomber, what sort of angle of dive was used, was there a standard ? I ask as my nearest experience of such would be the "Khe San approaches" employed by our Hercules when doing the Sarajevo airlift, which struck me as almost vertical. I assume the VV was equipped with dive brakes to maintain the speed within Vne, or did they not have that capability. I know that most of the gliders I flew had speed limiting air brakes that ensured that once deployed, the aircraft could not exceed Vne regardless of attitude. Hope you are well and can spare a few minutes to deal with my query.
