P 61 over bucharest, True or false

[ovichelu]

I`m going to start with an quote from 'CITAT(http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Bombing-of-Bucharest-in-World-War-II)
April 15
A second massive bombing took place on April 15. This time, the RAF used P-61 Black Widows to carry out the operation, first dropping flares that illuminated the night sky bright as day and then using incendiary bombs, once they could see their targets. A terrifying, apocalyptic scene was created that night.[5] The University of Bucharest was gravely damaged and the building next to it, that of Cartea Românească, was destroyed, as were others'
I thimk this is not true but if you can help with more details and pursuasive arguments.

The RAF never ever used P-61s. For a list of aircraft used by RAF Bomber Command, go straight to the source http://www.rafbombercommand.com/master_welcome.html and click on "aircraft".

The P-61 was a night fighter not a bomber. The first of its kind did not arrive in England until May 1944 and did not become operational until July 1944. It was December 1944 before any went to the Mediterranean theatre.
