Answer Yes. AA shells could be programmed to explode at altitude of the bombers. A battery of Anti-Aircraft artillery would fire rounds witin a "box" area that the bombers would have to fly through. This would increase the chance of hitting a bomber. Q: Were the AA shells timed to explode by Altitude or timed from instant it was fired?? I've never considered this question. Either [A] the shell had a timer to explode within a specific time after the shell was fired OR [B] the shell detected the altitude by atmospheric pressure. Since earlier black-powder cannons used a fuse that burned to set off the explosion, then I'm sure this was continued up to WW2. It would be very difficult to "program" a shell to explode based upon altitude pressure as that would have too many variables.
