Anyway what's scarecrow bomber?

.[/QUOTE]

As Nigel once wrote

"During debriefing, Bomber Command airmen on occasion talked of the "scarecrow flares" or shells they had seen going off
around them while they were under attack from FlaK; these flares, they said, were a psychological ploy on the part of the
Germans, intended to demoralize them. The explosions these flares made, according to the crews, did look uncannily like
Lancasters, with full bomb loads of Cookies, TIs or incendiaries, blowing up in mid-air. But, after all, they said, they
were only scarecrow flares, and nothing to be unduly worried about.

The crews were wrong. The Germans never had any such "scarecrow flares". The explosions really were Lancasters blowing to
bits under the impact of a direct hit on their bomb bays.

That is what I have tried to reproduce here; a Lancaster exploding, with its TIs catching fire, and its bomb load blowing
it to smithereens."

That's what i also did with the B17 in screenshots.
