DTR is great!

RE: DTR is great!
Should interceptors do more damage to raiding bombers before the raiders drop their loads? I think the raids were planned for a constant fuel consumption rate. After the target is hit, the planes can increase in airspeed with the same fuel consumption rate. As the fuel is consumed, the plane gets lighter, until optimal airspeed and fuel consumption is reached.

My uncle was an engineer on the B-17 raids. He said they lumbered into Europe, and ran out...at least until they were in cover from fighters based in the UK.
