Hey dilrod... ya might want to remember that the members of the raid were mostly occupied with combat roles.  Photographers were volunteers.  Very brave volunteers.  As it was, most pilots and crew members came back with the same story....  low as could be (including grass stained) to avoid the volume of flak thrown at them.

You of all people are the liar here.  You have been proven wrong so many times I lose count.  Whats up with this continued play of innocence?  he world your 12 yr old arse lives in must be wonderfuly bliss.  Especially without reality and facts getting in the way... oh wait... I see a 2 yr old 80 foot evergreen!  :rolleyes:

Most posters here have provided fact (unlike your "expert observations") which are undisputed (other than in your misaligned twit of a brain) and to top it off, you have rebuked eyewitnesses as being wrong according to your skewed version of history...

Maybe there was a malfunction, or a problem, and they had to pull out of a dive? Maybe it was a miracle they survived? If you don't know you can't say it's proof that modern military planes (large ones) fly low. You can't, really, anyways because it's only doing it for a few seconds before it pulls up.


I can tell ya this much dipchit... I have flown low... and have come back with grass stains along with branches and knicks in a prop from my attempts at flying low.  My instructor grounded me for a year when he saw the knicks and made me pay every red cent back for the repairs at the prop shop.  I have also been in a B-25 that skimmed so low over a North Carolina field that we cut two swaths in the hay over a thousand feet long.  The only reason we didn't go longer was to avoid a hill... after that we dropped back into a valley and literally came back with branches and residue in all areas of resistance.

I don't care who claims it, unless you can prove it nobody's going to believe that those bombers flew 30 feet for any extended period of time. From a top gunner who supposedly shot at hay bales that normally don't get taller than a man, to a pilot that found a piece of grass stuck on a pitot tube, but no 60-foot-long smear of grass stain, neither of which is really possible as-told (in other words you don't know the entire story), nothing here has shown they flew scraping the ground (which would have almost killed them) or 30 feet and lower.


Ok, so let me get this straight.... youa re now agreeing that they flew at 30 foot.  Just not for extended periods of time....  :rofl

You're a class a touchhole.  Your level of lies knows no bounds, and frankly, I used to think it funny to poke fun at your lies.  Now it just disgusts me to think what damage your waste of flesh and bile is going to do to society.

This tread and Benny Moores groundloops thread are actually more entertaining than playing the game recently.

Sad but true.

Maybe you should read the thread first to find out what the discussion is about?

And yes, i agree, you are clueless.

um, this is like arguing over who won the football in 1943. you might know for sure what the end score was, but like hell anyone here is old enough to have a real certain clue what happened during the game.



bunch of know-it-all tryhards. :furious

This would be funny, except for all the sad stupidity and spinning involved.

I agree Savage, When I first read that about the bombers being as high as 14K I was like, "did they have two raids on polesti?"  There is actual footage shot from that raid from inside one of the bombers.  Treetop level going in and coming out was the norm!  Where there were no trees, it was grasstop level! :aok

OK  went digging through all my books that had bits on Ploesti.

Some quotes showed up that speak specifically to height.


One of the 389th BG "Sky Scorpons" had bomb bay doors that wouldn't open.  They dropped through the doors.  They brought back corn stalks in the wreckage of the dangling bomb bay doors.  That's gotta be below 30 feet.  Not many 30 foot + corn stalks have I ever seen.

Bill Cameron of the 44th  in "Buzzin Bear"   "roared away from her bombs at 75 feet."

Jon Deihl of the "Flying Circus" was in the lead plane of his formation.  "Diehl pulled up to 250 feet to clear smoke stacks and the bombs dropped as he cleared the obstructions and made for ground level again"

And this one that really seems to cover it.

"One B24 dipped a bit too low and plowed through a haystack.  The pilot prudently raised his altitude to 30 feet."
