ww2 buff here... whilst relatively accurate, this movie in no way explains why and how the daylight (and night) bombing campaigns over germany almost failed.

ww2 buff here... whilst relatively accurate, this movie in no way explains why and how the daylight (and night) bombing campaigns over germany almost failed. i would strongly recommend watching this talk by steven blank @ the computer history museum: "the secret history of the silicon valley".
the talk even OPENS with clips from 12 o'clock high! :)

TL;DR: it was radar.
- Balgair 8y agoHey, as an WW2 buff, do you where I can get a list of ALL the bomber nicknames (Picadilly Lilly, Memphis Belle, etc)? I'm trying to train a neural net on them for generation of new 'authentic' nicknames.
- ggm 8y agoRobert Buderi's book on radar is a good read on that. Alas, not electronically available (it should be) but worth seeking in print.
