20 March 1942FRIDAY, 20 MARCH 1942
Army Air Forces in Britain (AAFIB)]: A report submitted by
Brigadier General Ira C Eaker in compliance with Major General
James E Chaney's instructions of 25 Feb indicates completion of
studies of Royal Air Force (RAF) Bomber Command operations and
of airfields, training, tactical doctrine, equipment, and
methods of conducting air offensive in cooperation with the RAF.
The report also indicates much dependence upon the British for
the present but emphasizes the apparent compatibility of the
tactical doctrines of the US (daylight precision bombing) and
RAF (night area bombing), and implies the principle of
coordinating these attacks to complement each other.
