  1. The heavies used in WW2 were horrifically inefficient. They couldn’t hit a huge factory so settled for flattening whole cities. Battle of Midway proved the heavies could never hit ships. What’s even worse is the British had the solution in the twin engine Mosquito. It was used for accurately placing target markets. But a raid with 800 Mosquitos would carry at least the same bomb load as 400 B17s. More importantly they would hit the target using 40% of the crew numbers and the return flight could strafe airfields etc. This wasn’t considered because the top brass had one solution and they were using it no matter what.
