[edit] Edits of 060606

1. I deleted the sentence: "Both of these planes (ME Bf 110 and Ju 88) are long range bombers". This is not accurate. The Wikipedia articles on the two aircraft describe them as a 'twin engine heavy fighter' and a 'multi-role aircraft' respectively. In 1940, the Ju 88 could be described as a bomber, but the ME 110? No way!

2.I replaced 'launch' with 'scramble' ; 'launch' in a 1940's aviation context sounds too modern.
