The Bombing Survey

The Bombing Survey was a study conducted after World War II to evaluate the effectiveness of aerial bombing campaigns. It analyzed how strategic bombings impacted military targets and civilian areas, providing insights into their military and social consequences. The survey aimed to determine whether bombing campaigns achieved their tactical objectives and to inform future military strategies. Its findings helped shape post-war military planning and international understanding of the use and effects of strategic bombing. Overall, the survey served as a critical assessment tool to learn from wartime experiences and improve future aerial warfare tactics.
