Talk:Tactical bombing

Going operational
I lifted this from strategic bombing:
 * "Operational bombing uses strategic air assets to support major military ground operations, such as the isolation of Normandy through the bombing of transportation hubs throughout northern France in support of the D-Day invasion, or the carpet bombing of the Axis front lines west of St. Lo in support of COBRA . Finally, tactical bombing is used to attack specific individual targets, such as troop concentrations, command and control facilities, airfields, ammunition dumps, down to attacking individual armored vehicles."

and:
 * "Tactical and close support types are generally relatively smaller. However, the distinction does not lie in the aircraft type used, or necessarily the assigned target, but in the purpose of the attack. Tactical bombing aims to defeat specific enemy military forces. Operational bombing aims to further the overall success of military operations in defeating enemy forces in the field. "

Anybody want include it? Also, where did "operational" bombing come from? I've never heard it. Trekphiler (talk) 20:38, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
