Jerry, I would guess the average altitude was mid-to-low 20,000s.
Examples...May 11, 44 Luxemburg 17,000...July 1 44 Munich 27,000...July 25 44 Scheweinfurt (My first Lead Mission) 25,000...August 30 Kiel (My last mission) 26,000.
Question #2...No. From IP to release no change in altitude.
We were sitting "ducks." However, there was a slight increase in altitude when bombs were dropped, but this did not help improve "Flax Inaccuracy.
