Actually, here are the combat reports... Looks like I remembered wrong - the first attack was normal altitudes (1400 and 9000) but the the follow-on raids I set both to 9000 to stay out of machine gun range. First day's losses were larger than losses from all other attacks combined: Afternoon Air attack on Colombo , at 29,48 Weather in hex: Thunderstorms Raid detected at 80 NM, estimated altitude 19,000 feet.
