I've seen the term "carpet bombing" bandied about for years. I've never seen
or
heard a definition. Is there one? A generally accepted one?
I generally dislike the term since it's often applied to the BUFF and seems to
mean to most in the world media; "dropping 6 or more bombs at once". The
definition to most of the present and former aviators I know appears to be
"bombing a target *area* rather than a target itself".
