Default Re: AI Air Defense

I always get a laugh out of the Army Air Corps attempts to use B-17 to hit ships during WWII. As I recall they did hit a couple (like two, TOTAL) by accident.
I've never understood how they expected to hit a ship when they considered 50% of their bombs landing within one mile of a stationary target (during the infamous 1000 plane raids) pin point accuracy.
Classic case of "I have a cause to champion; AIRPOWER WINS WARS ! So don't bother me with the facts" I guess.
