During the First World War fledgling crews in basic aircraft
experimented with dropping grenades and small bombs. The need for
elements of accuracy became obvious and evolved from that point
onwards. The various light bombers that flew during the inter war
period developed procedures which carried on into the early years
of the Second World War. Bomber Command eventually witnessed the
large 4-engined 'Heavy Bombers', namely the Handley Page Halifax,
Shorts Stirling and Avro Lancaster develop into significant bomb
carrying aerial platforms. This book will provide the reader with
an explanation of the origin of Bomb Aimers, the training of these
men and the complexity of dropping many types of bomb ordinance is
an enthralling story. Technical and scientific developments are
examined to provide an understanding of the trade that enabled the
Bomb Aimers wing to be awarded to the men who volunteered at this
time. Many gallantry medals were won by Bomb Aimers. Accounts of
dangerous operational flying will be revealed by Bomb Aimers in
numerous aircraft. This book will examine true accounts that took
place; many will be based upon personal flying logbooks and other
unique material originating from the aircrew themselves.
