British Lancaster bombers, like this one, dropped tons of incendiary bombs on the German city of Dresden during World War II. One interesting historical factoid is British bombers largely used a visual bombing method of bombing, which involved the lighter and faster Mosquito bombers dropping red flares over the target before the Lancaster’s moved in. The city was attacked by Royal Air Force and U.S. bomber forces over a period of several days. (Courtesy photo)
