USAAF-v RAF bombing accuracy and strategies is a complex and interesting subject. The Norden bomb-sight's public reputation was based on the best result of perfect weather, non-combat conditions. The RAF developed a cruder and more complex system to improve accuracy---the Path Finder Force concept.. It took many more resources but showed greater improvements in accuracy over prior methods. .
US bombing accounted for only 25% of the total tonnage dropped on Europe in WW2....the rest was the RAF......not that americans are ever good with acknowledging the truth !!!
Check out the book My Cousin Killed Hitler based on the story of Marshal Zhukov. It tells a family secret about him. If only Hitler knew that one of those he hunted became the hunter instead.
@WhoIsBaz yes you are right the new generation have no knowledge about WW2 and what the American,British,canadian and the allied sacrifices have done to give them the freedom they enjoy now mostly here in europe, the accent i can uderstand very well i am not an english born person but English is our second language in some area it is parallel with our mother tongue, the new generation must be educated about WW2 it must be taught in school but goddemn school no one is doing it

@macbrack04 - Albert Speer reckoned US daylight bombing hurt German war production more than RAF bombing.

@macbrack04 America does not deny the inaccuracy of night-time British bombing.
