Could there ever be another action smilar to that of Operation Vengeance that ambushes a convoy carrying a very high-ranking leader? As I'm sure most of you know, Operation Vengeance was an action taken by the USAAF against a convoy of bombers and fighters taking Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto on his way to the Solomon islands for inspection. Four P-38s ambushed the convoy in air while 14 others were kept at high altitude in preparation for any Japanese response. Yamamoto was killed by the raid. So basically, what I'm asking is-could anyone else have pulled off something like this in any combat situation? Perhaps the Soviet or Western Allied Air Forces could have done this to Hitler? Can anyone think of any other possible scenarios?
