The Aerial War: 1939–45: The Role of Aviation in World War II
Overview
The war is a war of machines; it will be won on the assembly line. - Lord Beaverbrook, Minister of Aircraft Production
Just as vital as the battle on land or the struggle at sea, the air war ultimately tipped the balance of power in World War II in favour of the Allies. During the six years of the war, military air power expanded significantly on both sides to unprecedented levels of ferocity and scale, from simple bombing excursions in 1940 to massive thousand-bomber raids on German cities and day-and-night raids by Allied forces on Axis targets. The strategic offensive reached its climax in the unrestrained bombing of Japan, where in one night almost 200,000 people were killed in a firestorm raid on Tokyo, preceding the dropping of the atom bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
