Area bombing is not a dirty word. by ArtKramr
60 years of hindsight with some revisionism thrown in have obscured the original intent of attacking an enemy from the air. I only flew one (of 50) mission over cloud cover using GEE. We didn't call it area bombing. We didn't call it blind bombing. Those are words are now used to stake out an...
