area bombing was the technique whereby whole cities and not just specified targets were bombed. Its aim was not only destruction but the shattering of civilian morale. RAF Bomber Command exploited its full potential against Germany (see
strategic air offensives, 1) after
photographic reconnaissance had revealed in 1941 the failure of its attempts at
precision bombing (see
Butt report). It was also used by Twentieth US Army Air Force against Japan (see
strategic air offensives, 3), and the most extreme examples of it were the destruction of
Hiroshima and
Nagasaki by
atomic bombs. See also
bombers, 2.
