      XPost: rec.aviation.military, soc.history.war.misc       From: muratlanne@gmail.com              "a425couple" wrote in message news:G0RPL.1021204$MVg8.45875@fx12.iad...              The single largest investment by Britain during WW2 was building a       credible strategic air force. The intention of this force - RAF Bomber       Command - was to win the war by demoralising the enemy. This weapon was       also demoralising in another way, to Britain itself, in that although it       caused devastating damage, it did not succeed in blunting Germany’s will       to fight on.              That said, while Bomber Command could not win the war against Germany on       its own, as its commander Air Marshall ‘Bomber’ Harris claimed, it did       provide one of the most significant tools for ensuring final victory.              ------------------------              https://www.cfc.forces.gc.ca/259/260/263/coulson2.pdf              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
