Among the officers of the Strategic Bombing Survey during its Japanese phase were Paul Nitze, and John Kenneth Galbraith. The Strategic Bombing Survey was established in November 1944 to establish a basis for evaluating the importance and potentialities of air power as an instrument of military strategy, for planning the future development of the U.S. armed forces, and for determining future economic policies with respect to the national defense. The use of atomic bombs on Japan provided added significance to the work of the Survey in Japan. More

Air raid shelters are structures for the protection of non-combatants as well as combatants against enemy attacks from the air. They are similar to bunkers in many regards, although they are not designed to defend against ground attack (but many have been used as defensive structures in such situations). Before WWII, the U.K. had difficulty choosing the location of air raid shelters. During WWII, many types of structures were used as air raid shelters such as cellars, German Hochbunkers, basements, and underpasses. The U.K. began building street communal shelters as air raid shelters in 1940. Anderson shelters, designed in 1938 and built to hold up to six people, were also in common use in the U.K. Indoor shelters known as Morrison shelters were also in use. More

Sheet is approximately 11 inches by 8.5 inches, folded in half, with printing on all four sides/pages. Sheet has wear, soiling and some staining. Some creasing noted.

Air Raid Precautions (ARP) refers to a number of organizations and guidelines in the United Kingdom dedicated to the protection of civilians from the danger of air raids. Government consideration for air raid precautions increased in the 1920s and 30s, with the Raid Wardens' Service set up in 1937 to report on bombing incidents. Every local council was responsible for organizing ARP wardens, messengers, ambulance drivers, rescue parties, and liaison with police and fire brigades. From 1 September 1939, ARP wardens enforced the "blackout". Heavy curtains and shutters were required on all private residences, commercial premises, and factories to prevent light escaping and so making them a possible marker for enemy bombers to locate their targets. With increased enemy bombing during the Blitz, the ARP services were central in reporting and dealing with bombing incidents. They managed the air raid sirens and ensured people were directed to shelters. More
