RAF Bomber Command was the organisation that controlled the RAF's bomber forces from 1936 to 1968. During World War II, the command destroyed a significant proportion of Nazi Germany's industries and many German cities, and in the 1960s was at the peak of its postwar power with the V bombers and a supplemental force of Canberra light bombers. RAF Bomber Command had 19 Victoria Cross winners and, in August 2006, a memorial was unveiled at Lincoln Cathedral.

  • El Comandament de Bombarders de la RAF era l'organisme que controlava les forces de bombarders de la Royal Air Force entre 1936 i 1968. Va ser creat el 14 de juliol de 1936, a partir de la secció de bombardeig de la Defensa Aèria de la Gran Bretanya, i va ser absorbit al 1968 pel Royal Air Force Strike Command. Durant la Segona Guerra Mundial va ser responsable d'una proporció destacada de la destrucció de la indústria alemanya, així com de moltes ciutats; i a la dècada de 1960, va arribar al cim del seu poder de postguerra amb els bombarders V i una força suplementària de bombarders lleugers Canberra. De tots els seus membres, 19 van ser guardonats amb la Creu Victòria; i a l'agost del 2006 es descobrí un memorial a la catedral de Lincoln.

  • The real importance of the air war consisted in the fact that it opened a second front long before the invasion in Europe . . . Defence against air attacks required the production of thousands of anti-aircraft guns, the stockpiling of tremendous quantities of ammunition all over the country, and holding in readiness hundreds of thousands of soldiers, who in addition had to stay in position by their guns, often totally inactive, for months at a time . . . No one has yet seen that this was the greatest lost battle on the German side.
