During World War II, the United States
undertook massive aerial attacks against cities and industrial areas in the Pacfic
Theater of Operations (PTO) to destroy Japanese military forces. After the surrender
of Japan on August 15, 1945, the United States Strategic Bombing Survey (USSBS) was
ordered by President Harry S. Truman to study the effects of this strategic bombing
in the Pacific. Organized in November 1944, the USSBS was assigned two tasks: to
establish a basis for evaluating the importance and potential of air power as an
instrument of military strategy, and to plan the future development of the armed
forces. The USSBS conducted surveys in both Europe (European War reports) and the
Pacific (Pacific War reports).
