520 1 $a"When large formations of Allied four engine bombers finally flew over Europe, it marked the beginning of the end for the Third Reich. Their relentless hammering of Germany - totaling more than 1.4 million missions - took out oil refineries, industries, and transportation infrastructures vital to the Reich's war effort. While other accounts have focused on operational details, this is the first book to reveal the crucial role of air intelligence in these dramatic campaigns." "Robert Ehlers reexamines these bombings through the lens of both air intelligence and operations, a dual approach that shows how the former was so vital to the latter's success. Air intelligence was essential to both targeting and damage assessment, and by demonstrating its contributions to the Combined Bomber Offensive of 1943-1945, Ehlers provides a wealth of new insight into the war."--BOOK JACKET.
