Hi
I came across the phrase “bombing g.g.” regarding RAF WW2 Navigator training. I assume the “g.g.” is an abbreviation. Does anyone know what this might be referring to? If you would be so kind would you mind explaining?

I’ve come across an RAF publication called “Ground Gen for Airmen” all about living in the RAF.
Was there such a thing as “bombing ground gen”?

I suspect they are both lower case letters.
If it is lower case letters maybe it isn’t Gee which I assume would have been written with an upper case G

Is there the possibility that the second letter could be a ‘j’ rather than a ‘g’?

For what it’s worth, ‘Good grouping’ also sounds very plausible to me.

‘Gee gen’ would certainly make sense to me, as ‘gen’ was a frequently used term in those days……

General knowledge concerning the use of using gee for navigating? ‘Gee gen’ ?

It is handwritten but it definitely looks like a double g
He says that he spent the day catching up on bombing g.g

If it’s handwritten, could you be misreading ‘bombing gee’???
