I have been reading The Bomber Command Diaries and have a couple of questions, what is meant by
R.C.M. Sorties and
G-H Raid.
There is no glossary to explain the terms used.
Thanks
Paul

RCM...Radio Counter Measures.
G-H....As far as i know, is a Blind Bombing Radar Device.

Hi.

G-H, more properly Gee-H was, indeed, an aid to bombing. However, unlike H2s which was an airborne radar fitted in the aircraft, Gee used a system of broadcast radio signals from different bearings, which were picked up by a receiver in the aircraft.
