The Battleship Roma & The Birth of The Smart Bomb...
The narrative of the air campaign during World War II centres around huge formations of bombers dropping hundreds – sometimes thousands – of tons of bombs on the ground below in an effort to pummel the enemy into oblivion. Despite the best efforts of the crews involved, dropping bombs from around 15,000ft meant that a great number of them missed their intended targets meaning they were fighting and dying often for nothing. Military commanders got around this by instead targeting entire cities but when it came to targeting ships, it was nigh-on impossible to achieve success in this manner. However, a brilliant young engineer in Germany looked to take away control of the bomb from fate and give Germany a weapon of great power and unprecedented precision all the while keeping the valuable aircrew at a safe distance where enemy guns could not reach them. This is the story of the sinking of the battleship Roma and the birth of precision guided weapons, known more commonly today as smart bombs. Welcome to Wars of the World.
