The strategic bombing campaign during World War II played a crucial role in the Allies' victory over Nazi Germany, significantly impacting civilian life and industrial targets. British night raids and USAAF daylight missions devastated German cities, resulting in substantial civilian casualties.

Early high-altitude flight posed challenges that necessitated advancements in pressurized cockpits and enhanced powerplants.
