Have you ever seen an H2S trace of, say, Berlin ? Most of these early radar systems were only of use where very clearly-defined shorelines were visible. Otherwise, why were so many 'targets of opportunity' bombed by the 8th ? I think the B-29s at high altitude would have been quite satisfied to hit.....Germany.
