	Doolittle Raid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Doolittle Raid was a bomber raid launched by the United States on the Japanese mainland on April 18, 1942.
		The raid was made possible by a technical observation of Captain Francis Low that twin-engined bombers could be launched from an aircraft carrier.
		On October 19, 1942, the Japanese broadcast that they had tried two crews of the Tokyo Raid and had sentenced them to death, but that a number of them had received commutation of their sentences to life imprisonment and a lesser number had been executed.

	Strategic bombing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Zeppelin raids were complemented by the Gotha bomber, which was the first heavier than air bomber to be used for strategic bombing.
		Royal Air Force leaders, in particular Air Chief Marshal Hugh Trenchard, believed that the key to retaining their independence from the senior services was to lay stress on what they saw as the unique ability of a modern air force to win wars by unaided strategic bombing.
		In Europe, the air power prophet General Giulio Douhet asserted that the basic principle of strategic bombing was the offensive and that there was no defense against carpet bombing and poison gas attacks.

	Air Raid Precautions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Air Raid Precautions (ARP) was an organization in the United Kingdom dedicated to the protection of civilians from the danger of air-raids.
		Certain German bombing operations of WW I had been surprisingly effective, especially when the Gotha bombers supplanted the zeppelins, the 'best' raids had inflicted 121 casualties for each ton of bombs dropped and it was this figure that was used as a basis for predictions.
		In 1938 the Air Ministry predicted 70,000 casualties a week—in the first month of war the British government was expecting a million casualties, 3 million refugees and the majority of the capital destroyed.

	Defending Against the Allied Bombing Campaign: Air Raid Shelters and Gas Protection in Germany, 1939-1945
		New public air raid shelters are to be constructed, and existing air raid shelters are to be made, as bombproof as possible.
		Air intakes (Entlüftungsrohren) would usually be equipped with a gas-tight flap, as drawings indicate, [S77] sometimes the air intake would have a large and heavily sloped brick chimney, which, due to the slope, would occupy a mass many times greater than the aperture.
		When an air raid alarm sounded, we had to be there on time and open the bunker with the "block leader", a party official who was responsible for the street.

	Air Raid Wardens
		When air raids are threatened, warning will be given in towns by sirens, or hooters which will be sounded in some places by short blasts and in others by a warbling note, changing every few seconds.
		Remember that most of the injuries in an air raid are caused not by direct hits by bombs but by flying fragments of debris or by bits of shells.
		The A. (Air Raid Precautions) defences and expense are founded upon a wholly fallacious view of the degree of danger to each part of the country which they cover.

		Opponents of the corporate raid argue that this typically occurs only to well-run companies who are successfully managing their money.
		Proponents of the corporate raid argue that companies which have huge assets and low stock prices are not managing their money well and should either attempt to regain market confidence by boosting their share prices or else liquidate some of their assets and return the money to their shareholders.
		Corporate raids became the hallmark of a handful of investors in the 1970s and 80s who built up large lines of credit and were able to purchase huge companies for little or no cash, often through the issuance of junk bonds.

	Wartime Germany's Anti-Gas Air Raid Shelters -- A Refutation of Pressac's 'Criminal Traces'
		Crowell extensively cites contemporary German specialized literature on wartime air raid shelters and measures against possible air attacks with poison gas to argue that such shelters, and their equipment, were widely used throughout wartime Germany, including in the concentration camps.
		The German "Air Raid Guide Emergency Program" (Luftschutz Führer Sofort Programm) of November 1940 specifically required that: "All new constructions, especially in buildings of the armaments industry, are henceforth to be equipped with bomb-proof air raid shelter rooms." (note 48) This unquestionably applied to Auschwitz.
		Normally (that is, in the case of air raid shelters), the screens would be on the outside, to protect against bomb splinters and debris, while the shutters would be on the inside, to afford gas protection.

	Plymouth`s World War II Underground Air Raid Shelters, UK
		These air raid shelters would be no protection against a direct hit (as would be so painfully proved later in the war) but would give excellent protection against a near miss and perhaps more importantly against flying debris such as roof slates, masonry and glass, and of course shrapnel.
		Posters dated 1940-41 still hang in many air raid shelters, informing one that smoking is prohibited and that 'dogs are not admitted'....(they may get hysterics during a raid and bite people).
		Underground air raid shelters were built to a standard layout, often their actual shape and layout being dictated by the physical topography of the site they were built into - almost being designed as they were built.

		Air defense forces were built up as rapidly as possible and air raid drills, practice flouts, and other precautionary measures became a part of life in wartime America along with shortages and rationing.
		In Sept. 1943, the AAF began to dismantle its air defense system and in May 1944 civilian volunteers were released from the Ground Observer Corps.
		At war's end, not one air defense radar station was in regular operation in the U.S. Enemy action against the continental U.S. consisted of only a few shellings by surfaced submarines and one reported attack by a Japanese float plane.

		Because of the extreme sound power emitted by these sirens and the desire that their coverage area be extended as far as possible, they were usually mounted high on a steel tower or on top of multi-story building.
