Bombers

aforementioned dive bombers were carrier-based, and this reflects the importance of dive bombers as part of a fleet air wing. It was simply not feasible to have aircraft large enough to be practical level bombers as part of the carrier’s complement-- special situations such as the Doolittle Raid notwithstanding. Furthermore, carriers groups were often tasked with attacking enemy fleets, which calls for a precision beyond that of level bombing but perfectly suited for the traits of dive bombers. While level

Harris believed that there can be no real defense against bombing, "Having got through the bomber are ready to bring such destruction that the state would merely surrender the struggle and sue for peace" . Saturation bombing did not impact the morale of the civilians enough to influence their war-waging capability. In March 1944, the common weekly

This was because there was little damage dealt as both Britain and Germany had few bombers with sufficient range to reach the target or the adequate technology to hit it. This resulted in public opinion of bombing dropping from the pre-war expectation after they had first experienced it.

Strategic bombing was used to a high intensity during World War Two as a means of demoralising enemy morale and targeting enemy infrastructures and strongholds such as bridges, factories and points of making war materials to essentially destabilise the enemies next point of attack. Post World War II aviation technology experienced a mini boom and allies and axis powers began to understand the easiest, quickest way of winning the war was to devastate important cities to force the enemy into surrender

The Evacuation of Children From Britain's Major Cities During World War II During the First World War, the home front in England did not experience the terrible warfare that was happening in France. The only experience the civilians had was the starvation due to the food shortages they were facing.

“When my brother and I built the first man-carrying flying machine we thought that we were introducing into the world an invention which would make further wars practically impossible.” Orville Wright, 1917. Sadly this was not the case. Over the span of World War II, because the technology was so new and could work well, planes were used heavily and mercilessly and because of this, more than half a million people died or were lost in combat. During the war, airplane manufacturing was important to
