Meet the 5 Best Bombers of All Time

*Robert Farley* *Security, * Best of the best. *Over the last century, nations have invested tremendous resources in bomber aircraft. More often than not, this investment has failed to bear strategic fruit.* Bombers are the essence of strategic airpower. While fighters have often been important to air forces, it was the promise of the heavy bomber than won and kept independence for the United States Air Force and the Royal Air Force.

Ships such as USS Essex, Ticonderoga and Hancock continued to launch combat missions over Korea and Vietnam.* The secret of American victory in World War II was quantity and quality.

Professor Michael Howard, the eminent British historian, frequently stated, “Wars are not tactical exercises writ large… They are conflicts of societies, and they can be fully understood only if one understands the nature of the society fighting them.” The professor must have anticipated the Syrian Civil War.

But to some, he is still "Chicago Jesus." Here’s how the lunatics at the black identity extremist site The Root put ... more »
