Aerial bombing of other aircraft was tried by the Germans as has been stated, but it was a desperate 'try anything' kind of thing. Seems pretty silly to me but it did occur.

Unhappy Re: Dumb but Lucky.......

Good, you finished this one, the guy did'nt even shoot a plane down, that was very key for me, that is kinda what I was looking for, and some ground attacks as well. I'm not happy to say that I chucked the book once I was done, I did;nt even want to give it to anyone, it was that "not good" in my opinion.
Only the aircraft to aircraft bombing was interesting, but otherwise......

Cheers, I am re-reading Kursk by Glandz, now that is a great read, then rereading When Titams Clash after that.
