<And even during WWII, the US relied far more upon pinpoint bombing in Europe to attack military and industrial targets> My father, who spent 4 years in the war, used to laugh about American ability to "drop a bomb in a barrel". Missing by a mile was apparently the norm. As seen on tv, yesterday, the bombing on D-day was bad, with a lot of cattle and French farmers having bombs rained down on them, but coastal defences were missed. I think "pinpoint" is an exaggeration. It's only with the cunning guidance systems which can fly the bomb in a window that "pin-point" has become a valid description. It really is pin-point now.
