At the close of the Second World War both the RAF and the United States Army Air Forces sent teams of investigators to the continent of Europe to try and assess the effectiveness of Allied strategic bombing. The British Survey was originally classified and is published here for the first time. By combining the original Report and an analysis of its strengths and weaknesses, together with a short history of the genesis of the British Survey, this work is an important contribution to the continuing historical debate over the effects of the strategic bombing offensive in the Second World War.

At the close of World War II, both the RAF and the United States Army Air Forces sent teams of investigators to Europe to try to assess the effectiveness of Allied strategic bombing. Whilst the American Survey was provided with lavish resources, its British counterpart was, by contrast, tightly constrained, largely at Churchill's behest. The numerous volumes of the US Survey were published shortly after the war and have been widely used by scholars ever since. The British Survey was originally classified, and was only made available in the archives some years later. Both British and American Surveys have had, and continue to have, a profound influence on the postwar histories of the bomber offensive, both official and unofficial. In the light of 1990s scholarship, however, it is now clear that the Surveys were prone to influences which affected the final judgements at which they arrived, and thus contributed to errors and bias which have carred through to subsequent historical analyses. By combining the original report, and an an analysis of its strengths and weaknesses, together with a short history of the genesis of the British Survey, this work aims to contribute to the continuing historical debate over the effects of the strategic bombing offensive in World War II.
