Contains seven items being a circulation list and six copies of the report.
The report deals with the four different approaches to the use of heavy bomber forces in a tactical role which had been employed in various operations. It examines in detail the forces engaged, the tactics used, the observed effects, and opinions proffered or canvassed as to the value of such operations. Recommendations are made for future operations, the report concluding that, while the technique "is still new and experimental", where heavy bombers were deployed "land operations have been greatly facilitated. In several instances the help provided has been a decisive factor in the overall success achieved."
