PRRuNe Pop, excellent examples of daylight precision bombing by precision bombing specialists. But the vast majority of main force and 8th USAAF were not, and main force had the disadvantage of night bombing to boot. That is why I do not understand the ambivalent attitude of the modern RAF to the WWII RAF's Bombing Campaign. It is not enough to simply applaud the veterans while disowning the campaign itself, either disown both or stand by both. Jane-DoH is typical of those that even in war-time challenged the campaign while suggesting no other viable war winning strategy (specific targets such as oil, transportation, ball bearings, etc, were often proposed by the "precision specialists" but as often as not still involved the bombing of cities or otherwise very heavily defended targets, such as Ploesti that resulted in unsustainable losses). The RAF Bombing Campaign (and that of 8th USAAF) was a war winning one. Others will contest that I know, but without it I am convinced we could not prevail. That is why it was necessary and that is why the modern RAF should stand up and be counted in support of it.
