The NoBall target category was that against enemy missile launchers, bivouac areas, field headquarters, enemy supply/logistic points in support of field operations and concentrated areas of troop and weapon marshalling. These type targets fell more into a tactical bombing attack grouping as opposed to the strategic type comprised of fixed targets in or near major industrial complexes. During the German occupation of France and the low-land countries prior to D-Day, many NoBall targets were assigned to the Eighth Air Force. |
