Good question, I was wondering about enamelled nameplates because of the weight factor. But seeing as how the bombers circled the city for about an hour and a half prior to dropping their loads (the first bomb and last were about half an hour apart) it’s hard to say which aircraft it came from.

Another oddity – the first two bombs were released together, then there were three single bombs and finally the massive mine which devastated a large area and caused all the fatalities. And there were about ten to twenty planes flying around at the time.

I thought (in my own innocent way) that if you press the bomb button all your ordnance dropped, but that doesn’t seem to be the case here. Or am I wrong?

Oh, and thanks to whomever corrected my thread title spelling mishap!

This is the book, btw.
