Reminded me of Yossarian going round again! The second wave then came in and made short work of the shore-based AAA installations and dock facilities.

That i remarkable, but this is the first time I've heard of bombers being able to make a second bomb run and release ordnance a second time. I thought that all bombs were released the first time around.
Does this mean we can set 2 or multiple targets for a bomber and have them hit twice?
