Sadly for Cardboardtown, their ordeal was not over. Elements of the 37th Bombardment Wing was flying practice the next day, learning the finer points of flying the new B-95 Phoenix bomber. The morning began with 15 bombers from 37 Delta taking off from Ft Nevis AFB. They made a low level Mach 1.2 attack on precision targets, while a radar post tried to track them. The results were promising, the radar operators barely had time to report a target before they were at the target. Then squadrons 37 Alpha and 37 Gamma performed high altitude carpet bombing at Mach 3, leveling a good portion of the city. However anti aircraft missile systems could hit a bomber at 60,000 feet, and low level penetrators are the preferable means of bombing a fortified target.
