Predetermined Target

We knew that the target had been predetermined days ago and that the bombardiers could not see us from 20,000 to 30,000 feet above. If they could have seen us, they would not have known that we were Americans. They had no way of knowing we were on the road and we did not hold it against them. I went around and counted ten new craters made by five hundred-pound bombs. Had the bombardiers missed as some have, there may have been five hundred Americans killed.
