AlienFTM Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) Main Force Lancasters of Bomber Command launch a raid on Krefeld. A Pathfinder Mosquito is shot down near the village of Altgarten and its target markers ignite. Being a clear night, follow-up pathfinders have no trouble enhancing the wrongly-laid target markers and the inevitable creepback of bombs ensures the entire wrath of the Main Force, intended for the Ruhr industrial area, falls on the small village. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomber_%28novel%29 Edited July 1, 2010 by AlienFTM typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woa2 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Err...... there are only 30 days in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienFTM Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 Correct. See the link. Len Deighton's novel Bomber was deliberately set on 31 June so that rivet counters couldn't turn round and say "But Main Force hit Berlin that night."
