"Air bombardment will so pulverize Germany in the next six months that a generation of diligent rebuilding will scarcely restore her...In its first year the Eighth spewed almost 16,000 tons of explosives upon more than 100 targets, brushed 1,728 enemy fighters from the skies and damaged about 900 more, carried out 82 attacks in the full light of day. But even as you read this, the Eighth will be sluicing as many bombs over Germany in a single month as it did all last year."
