“Bomber Mafia” by Malcom Gladwell

Written by

The realization:
- The bomber always gets through
- This means we can bomb during the day
- So we can pick our targets
- With a bomb sight, we can keep altitude
Transaction memory
England bombed indiscriminately: they thought they could break the Germans will even though Germany had not broken their will
The Bomber Mafia was trying to save lives
Japan surrendering when it did, saved it from being carved up like Germany and kept them from starving in the winter
“The cleaner the bomber gets the more likely you are to use the bomber. “
