I don't think making comparisons is helpful to any of the people who planned and those others who executed those raids. Certainly Taranto is as worthy of the quote you mention, and the miracle that they got away with the incredibly light losses shouldn't detract from the vision and guts of the raid nor its strategic importance.





In my haste to post I failed to elaborate on exactly which points I feel Taranto contrasts with Tidalwave. "Vision", "guts", and "strategic importance" are certainly not among them.

WIXers are an intelligent lot and require neither James nor me to form their opinions for them. I feel strongly that those who choose to research both Taranto and Tidalwave will discover more contrast than comparison between the two endeavors.

Great photos!

The recon nose on the T-33 is something you don't see every day.
