High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Operation Pointblank was the code name for the primary portion of the World War II Combined Bomber Offensive "to impose heavy losses on German day fighter force and to conserve German fighter force away from the Russian and Mediterranean theatres of war" (Casablanca directive) before the Normandy Landings. The 14 June 1943 Pointblank directive ordered RAF Bomber Command and the U.S. Eighth Air Force to bomb specific targets such as aircraft factories, and the order was confirmed at the Quebec Conference, 1943. The techniques and specific tactics were decided upon by the commanders and subsequently followed differing bombing doctrines. The RAF mainly carried out night-time area bombing and the USAAF carried out daytime precision attacks against small targets.
