Some of the largest raids employed 1000 bombers to strike targets in Germany. This bomber stream could be as long as 100 miles (161 km) and as wide as 1 mile (1.61 km). At 180 mph (290 km/h) over the target an air raid could last from 35-45 minutes.
Hmmmm, tempting. And with the right choice of shots it could even be watchable, if not jaw-dropping. But without the kind of planes that were actually involved, able to fly at the right altitude, over the right kind of locations, it would have to be a fantasy scenario at the moment, and would take a lot of effort to do even then. Too much for me to do in any case, but it certainly gets the imagination going.
