World War 11 dramatically changed the strategies of war and created anew type of warfare though the use of airplanes. The traditional combat between armies became obsolete during this era. The size and destructive power of the bombs that could be dropped replaced the strengths and skills of a country’s army that† were in battle. Air warfare could n now be used to conquer a stronger power. Aircraft has many advantages compared to land battle. Planes have the ability to move freely and quickly from one place to another. Also, they have the means to cause a wide range of destruction with smaller number of troops. These various aspects of air warfare played a major role in preventing the advantages of Hitler and the Nazi regime during World War 11.
The Prime Minister of England addressed the Cabinet of War on the first anniversary of the outbreak of war stating:
“The Navy can lose us the war, but only the Air Force can win it. Therefore our supreme effort must be to gain overwhelming mastery in the air. The Fighters are our salvation, but the Bombers alone provide the means of victory. We must, therefore develop the power to carry an ever-increasing volume of explosives to Germany, so as to pulverize the entire industry and s

Below are additional random excerpts from the paper...
The development and the introduction of the heavy bomber was the necessary arm for destruction of the German during World War 11. The use of the heavy bomber allowed for versatility for the British’s offensive and defensive attacks with the German forces. These heavy bomber were such a threat to the other planes in the air that heavy bomber did not need other planes to protect it. This plane was able to out run most aircraft and it had the protection of the gunmen to shoot down any other planes that tried to shoot it down (Perret 87). The heavy bomber proved to be the necessary tool for the attacks on Germany. These heavy bombers could be used to easily destroy the factories with their powerful supply of higher-octane gasoline. The higher octane was used to development of engines that could fly faster. Since Germany was unable to produce or import the higher-octane gasoline the Germans were unable to produce faster planes (Levine 170). This was a major setback for the Nazi regime over the sky.
In addition to the radar’s ability to detect land targets, it also played a role in distinguishing friendly and enemy aircraft. Of opposing forces (Y’Blood38). This ability allowed the British forces the ability to attack enemy aircraft with certainty. This was an easy way for the Allied forces to destroy the German planes. Radar gave them the ability to know where the planes were coming from. This gave an advanced warning to the British and the United States of an incoming attack. This warning gave them the advantage to plan and be able to get into a position that would allow them to be on the offensive and not the defensive.
Britain and the United States forces planned to bomb economic and industrial centers of Germany. By destroying these two significant focal points, the allied forces
The German forces also had a lack of reserve planes, fuel stocks, bombs and torpedo bombers (Levine 18). This was due to the destruction of industry by the British and the United States forces and due to the lack of skilled workers that were able to work in the factories. Also, German was unable to develop sophisticated radar-detecting systems compared to the advance radar system that the opposition developed (Levine 19). Before the use of radar, the bombers had a hard time hitting the certain targets; the smaller targets usually seemed untouched after several attempts to bomb them. Night attacks decreased the accuracy of destroying targets. This was increased by the German “black out” during the night hours. The “black o
