Re: Bomber Harris, Dresden, Iraq & Palestine
The RAS used forms of words which varied from naked terrorism (Trenchard) to various mealy-mouthed sophistries. Despite air power always being an indiscriminate weapon, because of its inherent inaccuracy the RAF emphasised accuracy because of the obvious concomitant of bombing factories in the Ruhr which had workers' neighbourhoods next door. Not because of humane instincts about foreign plebs but because of the fear of retaliation. In practice dropping sticks of smaller bombs instead of one big one made it abundantly clear that bombing from the air was imprecise.
