Preferred term

strategic air command  

Definition

  • Strategic bombing stood at the core of the argument for a separate U.S. Air Force. The use of airplanes to deliver bombs to targets far beyond the battlefield represented an independent, offensive mission that would justify the creation of an air arm equal in status to the Army and the Navy.
