WW2 Allied Bomber

The role of airplanes during WW2 was of extreme importance, much more important than WW1. In the First World War the role of airplanes was limited to biplanes equipped with machine guns and manually throwing grenades. They couldn't reach great heights nor great speeds, but nevertheless they remain in memory, usually associated with Red Baron.

In the Second World War, airplanes had a great increase of use, especially in the Luftwaffe in the German Blitzkrieg tactics. Anything from air raids, great fights such as the Battle for Britain, intense maneuvers, observation operations, paratroopers deployments, massive bombing campaigns and the drop of nuclear bombs over Japan marked the air actions of WW2.
