6. Terror of the World

December 31, 2022

Germany's 'revenge weapons'-V1 and V2 missiles-heralded a new kind of war. Jet and rocket planes came too late to help. In Japan, kamikaze pilots struck fear, but a single weapon changed everything: the A-Bomb. As WWII ended, the bomber had reshaped warfare-and opened the door to the nuclear age.

5. By Night & By Day

December 31, 2022

Tokyo's firebombing proved deadly-wood and paper homes made cities burn fast. The B-29 bomber and napalm upped the carnage. In Europe, USAAF and RAF bombed day and night. New tech like bunker busters and bouncing bombs made targets harder to hide. The bomber was now war's most fearsome force.

4. The World at War

December 31, 2022

Germany lacked long-range bombers, but Britain and the US didn't. RAF Bomber Command, under Arthur Harris, embraced 'area bombing' to shatter morale. In Japan, the US began targeting military and industrial sites. Strategic bombing became central to Allied plans-and devastation spread worldwide.

3. The Means to Victory

December 13, 2025

The Blitz shook Britain, but the Allies struck back harder with strategic bombing. Technology advanced-radar, gun turrets, and bomb sights changed everything. Civil defenses rose. After Pearl Harbor, the US joined in, bringing more bombers, more power, and a new level of destruction to the war.

2. War Without Boundaries

December 31, 2022

In 1939, bombers hit Polish cities, sparking fear and evacuations. By 1940, Britain faced the Blitz, though early German raids targeted airfields. Both Axis and Allies believed air attacks could break morale. The war revealed that bombing had no boundaries-and civilians were on the front lines.

1. Rise of the Bomber

December 31, 2022

Before WWII, bombs dropped from balloons and Zeppelins hinted at a new horror. Between the wars, bombing campaigns escalated worldwide-from Shanghai to Guernica. Populations realized that in modern war, no one was safe. The bomber had arrived-not just as a weapon, but as a harbinger of total war.
