 Clear or moonlit nights were usually chosen for the raids, and the crews planned to fly out towards the target at about one o'clock a.m. The smaller cities without strategic importance had poor air defence systems, which allowed the bomber crews to drop their bomb load from a height of about 3,000 m, with comparatively high accuracy for horizontal bombers.
