June 10, 200917 yr Just to highlight (not that it needs highlighting) the solid brass balls that it took to fly one of these things into the Nazi AAA maelstrom, my Grandad, ex RN, told me that initially the Germans' on-board gunnery-calculator could not produce any meaningful data on the ''String-Bag'' (Swordfish) because they had never encountered an aircraft which flew so slowly .
