accurate bombing

This produced devastatingly accurate bombing results in the last months of the war.

In limited visibility or lacking a target of relatively high contrast, accurate bombing would be very difficult.

Introduction of new navigation aids such as Oboe allowed for accurate bombing.

This caused the bomber formations to be disrupted and made accurate bombing impossible.

At 7:20, flare markers were dropped on the city in order to allow accurate bombing by the rest of the squadron.

On this occasion, Berlin had a thick cloud cover that went down to 2,000 ft and made accurate bombing impossible.

Spokesmen put out selective videotapes of remarkably accurate bombing.

Also, with accurate bombing in or near population centers, civilian casualties and damage to residential areas are lessened.

By 1941 accurate bombing was as difficult as ever, with the added problem of evading anti-aircraft fire.

It could be flown low and slow for accurate bombing runs and required very little room to land and take off.

Poling took severe punishment from very accurate bombing.

One of his comments, regarding precisely accurate bombing, was: "You don't want that kind of surgery committed around where you live."

The anti-aircraft guns played an important role throughout the campaign by ensuring that the bombers remained at an altitude from which accurate bombing became very difficult.

It was the first modern bombsight that allowed for accurate bombing immediately after radical manoeuvring, with a settling time as little as 10 seconds.

That, of course, only pleased the elves even more-especially when Pikel convinced the birds to make an amazingly accurate bombing run above his brother.

Aircraft attacking from multiple directions had confused and overwhelmed the Japanese defences, resulting in lower casualties and more accurate bombing.

Although the tachometric bombsights provided most of the features needed for accurate bombing, they were complex, slow, and limited to straight-line and level attacks.

The aircraft plant attacked on 27 November and 3 December was only lightly damaged as high winds and clouds prevented accurate bombing.

The most important of these was the weather; the American raiders frequently encountered cloudy conditions and high winds over Japan which made accurate bombing extremely difficult.

This was to be an army co-operation raid but heavy cloud prevented accurate bombing and the operation was cancelled by the Master-bomber.

The CEP was eventually reduced to 20 metres, making the Canberras the most accurate bombing force in the region.

Later in World War II, tachometric bombsights were often combined with radar systems to allow accurate bombing through clouds or at night.

Eighteen RAF bombers found the Germans while they were still assembling, and scattered them with an accurate bombing run.

However, low-level bombing also increases the danger to the bomber from ground-based defences, and accurate bombing from higher altitudes has always been desired.

During these raids the Squadron gained a reputation for accurate bombing and was selected to attack the Dortmund-Ems Canal on a number of occasions.
