	Light bomber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Light bombers of the World War II were single-engine, or, less common, twin-engine aircraft with a bomb load about 500-1000 kg.
		Light bombers were also the only type of bombers operating from aircraft carriers.

		A bomber is a military aircraft designed to attack ground targets, primarily by dropping bombs.
		Strategic bombers are primarily designed for long-range strike missions against strategic targets such as supply bases, bridges, factories, and shipyards.
		Typically, combat aircraft intended for ground attack duties are camouflaged in the colours of vegetation whilst interceptors and aircraft intended for "dogfighting" other airplanes at altitude are finished in light blues or greys, so that their presence and trajectory are harder to see against the sky.

	Bomber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tactical bombers are smaller aircraft that operate at shorter range, typically along with troops on the ground.
		Perhaps the one meaningful distinction at present is the question of range: a bomber is generally a long-range aircraft capable of striking targets deep within enemy territory, whereas fighter bombers and attack aircraft are limited to 'theater' missions in and around the immediate area of battlefield combat.
		The development of large strategic bombers stagnated in the later part of the Cold War both because of spiraling costs and the advent of the intercontinental ballistic missile, which was felt to have equal deterrent value while being much more difficult to intercept.

	Medium bomber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A medium bomber is a bomber aircraft designed to operate with medium bombloads over medium distances; primarily to distinguish them from the much larger heavy bombers and smaller light bombers.
		The medium bomber was generally considered to be any design that delivered about 4,000 lb (1.8 t) over ranges of about 1,500 to 2,000 miles (2,400 to 3,200 km).
		Heavy bombers were those with a nominal load of 8,000 lb (3.6 t) or more, and light bombers carried 2,000 lb (0.9 t) loads.

		The light bomber had always been a tactical theatre concept, that is, it was used tactically against targets or for interdiction within the theatre of operations along the battlefront.
		The heavy bomber which had the range, endurance and payload the light bomber lacked, became the strategic weapon we know today.
		For Australia, the Boston was a significant aircraft because it was the first light bomber that the RAAF could employ in the ground attack tactical role and thus carry the war to the enemy.

		The Blenheim Mk I, shown above, was used mostly as a light bomber, while the Mk IV model (shown below) was used as a light bomber, fighter, nightfighter, reconaissance aircraft and close-support aircraft depending on how it was equipped.
		All models of the Blenheim were very vulnerable to enemy fighters as they didn't have the power to evade them, and the rear-facing armament wasn't heavy enough to defend them properly.
		The Mk.I bomber had a crew of 3 and used the 840 hp (618 kW) Bristol Mercury VIII radial engines with single-stage supercharger.

		Skyhawks provided the U.S. Navy and Marines and friendly nations with maneuverable, yet powerful, attack bombers that had great altitude and range capabilities, plus an unusual flexibility in armament capacity.
		The Skyhawk A4D was roughly half the empty weight of its contemporaries and could fly at 677 mph at sea level.
