摘要

The United States spent $ 183 billion on armaments dur-ing World War II. Of that amount, the Army Air Forc-es share was $45 billion. With that money, the AAF bought 230,175 aircraft, of which 34,625 were heavy bombers—15 per-cent of the total aircraft purchased. These bombers cost $9.2 billion—20.4 percent of AAF expenditures, and five percent of total US armament spending. Did the United States get its money's worth?Those in uniform, but also historians and military buffs, have debated that question for decades. Much of that debate sheds a great deal of heat but little light. There was, however, a mas-sive effort conducted at the end of the war to answer the question of strategic airpower's effectiveness. That effort was the US Strategic Bombing Survey (USSBS, pronounced "us bus").Many over the years have referred to the survey, but few seem to have read it.
