[ARC5] NASM B-26 Flak Bait Restoration - Radio Procedure

[mstangelo at comcast.net]

Does anyone know the liaison radio procedure used during a WW2 bombing raid?

Did every plane in a squadron or did the squadron leader, or hos backup, report the relevant events such as a course change or bomb release?

If multiple planes did report back what type of roll-call procedure did they use?

Some of the bombing missions involved hundreds of planes. I cannot envision every plane reporting every event except in emergencies.

Talked to a WW2 vet a while back who was the radio operator in a B-25 in Europe.  .  He said he couldn’t remember ever using the BC-375/BC-348, only the command sets.
