Yes. It is extremely good.

Could you, or someone expand on how night defenses were stronger
than daytime defenses? It's very counterintuituve and have not seen
this stated before.

In the daytime, the fighters defending the bombers can see the enemy
fighters.

I read defense as referring to the Germans (and wasn't alone on this).
Writing about darkness as "bomber defense" is new to me, so read it as
German nightime defenses were stronger than daytime defenses. Which I
think we'd agree is odd.

I see by Mr. Sinclair's intent in his response, so the point is
clarified.

Thanks though.
