Bomber Command
New Beginnings 1942
S1 • E3 54m
During the last few months of 1941 the air staff drew up a new plan for the strategic air offensive toward Germany. It was proposed to attack 43 of the main industrial centers in Germany, employing 4000 bombers and relying upon the new navigational aids. This proposal was rejected -- but the Command continued its offensive, despite previous failures, with the aid of the US Army Air Corps.
