High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Tactical bombing uses aircraft to attack troops and military equipment in the battle zone. This is in contrast to strategic bombing, which attacks an enemy's cities and factories to debilitate the enemy's capacity to wage war as well as the civilian population's will to continue the war. Tactical bombing began in World War I when pilots dropped small bombs over the side of their open cockpits onto enemy troops below. One of the first examples of this was at the Battle of Neuve Chapelle in 1915 when the RFC dropped bombs on German rail communications. By World War II, a number of specialized aircraft were developed to fulfill the role, but often strike fighters and fighter-bombers were used. For instance, in the Korean War, tactical missions were carried out by World War II-era fighters, such as the F4U Corsair.
