Bombing height

RE: Bombing height
I am currently reading Morrison's History of US Naval Operations in the Pacific. While primarily a US Navy series, it does describe Air Force bombers as they were used to support the various invasions. The vast majority of 4E bombing raids described in the books were done at altitudes above 10,000 feet and most above 14,000-15,000.

A few exceptions were ASW/antishipping attacks by US Navy Liberators (only is small numbers), and there were plenty of night bombing raids with B-29s over Japan later in the war at low altitudes. Skip bombing was done at very low levels, but almost all of these attacks were carried out by 2E planes.

Many WitP players use a house rule of 10,000 feet as the minimum 4E bomber altitude, particularly for Naval Attacks.
