What does CBO stand for?

His hard-nosed leadership of the 305th Bomb Group out of England during the early years of the combined bomber offensive did much to make daylight precision bombing a viable concept.

In doing so, the book provides a passable synthesis of the history of the intellectual development of the RAF's bombing doctrine, as well as the history of Bomber Command in the Combined Bomber Offensive (CBO), but does not make any new contributions to the current understanding of the field.

Fifteenth Air Force would primarily be part of the combined bomber offensive.

The Tedder Plan At Casablanca in January 1943, Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill agreed that the objective of the combined bomber offensive was "the progressive destruction and dislocation of the German military, industrial, and economic system, and the undermining of the morale of the German people to a point where their capacity for armed resistance is fatally weakened.

For example, many of his notions of the employment of Luftwaffe heavy bombers are very interesting, as is the argument that German jet fighters entering service in 1943 would have seriously hampered our efforts during the Combined Bomber Offensive.

It is a must-read for those wishing to further their understanding of the Combined Bomber Offensive of the RAF and US Army Air Forces.

A number of books written about the Combined Bomber Offensive (CBO) against Germany during World War II have generated far too many ill-conceived conclusions, misguided blame, and poor statistical analysis of the efforts by the Royal Air Force's (RAF) and US Army Air Forces' (USAAF) Bomber Commands.

BRITISH AND AMERICAN Airmen have been co-operating extensively in the field of strategic air power since before World War II when shared endeavours, such as the Combined Bomber Offensive against Nazi Germany set a precedent for close partnership.
