Description
Summary:By researching the existing literature, from the country and abroad, related to aerial bombardments, at the tactical and strategic level, the authors reveal the evolution of the air offensive theory, as well as aerial operations and their effects on Romania, from the World War I (WW1) and the World War 2 (WW2). The authors highlight some aspects of the conduct of German, Soviet, American, Anglo-American air operations on the population, economy, territorial infrastructure and military potential in Romania, which raised, and still raises, debates on the appropriateness and manner of their implementation, as well as on their effects on Romanian society. Hindsight from relatively recent military history allows lessons learned to be appropriated for similar situations in the future, which we know are likely to be but do not know when exactly will happen.
