Hiroshima. Nothing ever even came close in effect importance or end result.
End of story.


Gee, Art.

That just whacked a huge number of civilians.

Wouldn't a strategic air mission have to be something like the Dam Busters or
something?

Or wrecking that canal (I forget the name) with Tall Boys?

Seriously, something that caused a strategic effect for economical return,
like
the Oil Campaign of 1944/45.

If that dam was never busted it wouldn't have made the slightest difference in
the war. In fact the results of the dam busting was disappointing. Why are we
discussing missions that may have been heroic but made zero difference in the
outcome of fhe war?
