NIGHT RAIDS 1942-1944RAF Bomber Command was the organisation that controlled the RAF's bomber forces. The Bomber Command destroyed
a significant proportion of Nazi Germany's industries and cities.Like the United States Army Air Forces later in the war,
Bomber Command had first concentrated on a doctrine of "precision" bombing in daylight. However, when several late
1939 raids were cut to pieces by the organised German defences, a switch to night attack tactics was forced upon the
Command. The problems of enemy defences were then replaced with the problems of simply finding the target. In this
SEC we will portray the changing conditions of the night bombing missions in three frames.
