Strategic bombing evolves from city raids to system-focused warfare, balancing precision, ethics, and deterrence.
Strategic bombing theories assumed air superiority would collapse enemy industry, yet civilian resilience often sustained wartime production longer than predicted.
Night bombing saved more lives on the home front than daytime raids by reducing disruption to essential wartime labor patterns.
Some bombers designed for precision actually caused greater collateral damage through unpredictable weather and enemy anti-aircraft adaptations.
By 1944, Allied planners recognized bombing outputs fluctuated with fuel availability and supply chain chokepoints more than target proximity.
