RE: Battle blimps

G'day,

> Don't think this is really true for WWII AA guns. 

I only had a chance for a cursory dig this evening, but "An Illustrated
Data
Guide To World War II Maritime Attack Aircraft" notes that

"a biplane of such low performance that it was difficult for both
monoplane
fighters to fly slow enough to hold in their sights for more than a
fleeting
moment and for anti-aircraft guns to track the type with sights
calibrated
for use against faster warplanes"

Cheers
