Notes
Content: Early war navigation and bombsight technology made finding a target in an airplane difficult and hitting it nearly impossible, especially if all this took place at night. This aircraft was probably brought down by flak, as it was also very hard for night fighters to locate attacking bombers.
Content: Picture caption: "Und das ist eine der englischen Maschinen, die in den Nächten in deutsches Gebiet einflogen und von der Flak und den Nachtjägern heruntergeholt wurden."
