This series of Weekend Wings articles will focus on bombing in the strategic sense - attacking an enemy’s infrastructure and means of supporting its war effort - rather than in the tactical sense of operating in support of ground forces. The latter is a fascinating study in itself, but involves a different set of challenges, which must wait for their own series of articles. Nevertheless, the principles involved in aiming bombs and hitting the target are very similar. ...
