So the bombing was not a "big disappointment."

The Bomber Barons promised to win the war without having to invade at all.
When you consider that the RAF had 55,000 KIA, the same number of officers
killed in World War One, it has to be a disappointment. The same thing is true
of the Americans. A lot of effort and relatively little return.

So what would have the level of German armament production have been
WITHOUT the strategic bombing offensive?


Why are you so determined to denigrate the RAF? Are you related to that
Brennan creep?

Both RAF and 8th AF Bomber Commands did a tough job to the best of their
ability. To try to prove one was "better" or "worse" than the other is
ridiculous. Comparisons are odious, and, on the available evidence, so
are you. Just like a child calling names. Get a life.
