An article from the post-war pages of Yank Magazine regarding the findings of a U.S. government study regarding the effectiveness of the Allied strategic bombing campaign against Nazi Germany:

“…the survey authorities report that although air power might have been more advantageously applied in this case or that, its decisive bearing on the victory was undeniable…At sea, its contribution, combined with naval air power, brought an end to the enemy’s greatest naval threat -the U-boat; on land, it helped turn the tide overwhelmingly in favor of allied ground forces.”
