Dear faldage: thanks for that link. There was in incident in WWII in which a large fleet of
American bombers whose mission was to destroy oilfields at Ploesti Rumania missed their
target by hundreds of miles. The colonel in command was courtmartialed and punished
severely. Not for quite a few years later was it discovered that the jetstream, unknown
of at the time had caused the error. But it was discovered too late to exhonorate the
poor colonel.
