The objective of the Utilities Division was to examine the actual damage done by the bombing of Germany's electric generating plants and transmission networks to study the effect of the resultant curtailment in supply of electric energy upon Germany's war industry and to reach conclusions concerning the desirability of electric utility systems as targets for strategic bombing. The United States Strategic Bombing Survey USSBS was a written report created by a board of experts assembled to produce an impartial assessment of the effects of the Anglo-American strategic bombing of Nazi Germany during the European theater of World War II. After publishing the report in 1945 the Survey members then turned their attention to the war efforts against Imperial Japan during the Pacific War including a separate section on the recent use of the atomic bomb in attacks on two Japanese cities. In total the reports contained 208 volumes for Europe and another 108 for the Pacific comprising thousands of pages. The reports' conclusions were generally favorable about the contributions of Allied strategic bombing towards victory. The survey said of Allied airpower that it "was decisive in the war in Western Europe. Hindsight inevitably suggests that it might have been employed differently or better in some respects. Nevertheless it was decisive. In the air its victory was complete. At sea its contribution combined with naval power brought an end to the enemy's greatest naval threat-the U-boat; on land it helped turn the tide overwhelmingly in favor of Allied ground forces". A majority of the Survey's members were civilians in positions of influence on the various committees of the survey. Only one position of some influence was given to a prominent military officer USAAF General Orvil A. Anderson who had been in the Air War Plans Division and that only in an advisory capacity. Anderson was the only one on the survey board who knew about procedures of strategic bombing as Jimmy Doolittle's former deputy commander of operations. While the Board was not associated with any branch of the military it was established by General Hap Arnold chief of the USAF along with Carl Spaatz commander of Strategic Air Forces in Europe. U. S.

The inspections of Japanese electric generating plants and facilities was undertaken by the Electric Power Division to determine the geneal condition and characteristics of the plants and their wartime operations; to study the effects of physical damage due to bombing; to obtain a measure of the vulnerability and recuperability; and to secure data on actual bombing results.

Among the findings were that "It proved more difficult to put factories out of operation than had been forseen. The susceptibiity of machine tools to damage was not very great; fire proved more effective than blast. Stocks of raw materials and semi-finished bearings could not be harmed irrecoverably. Finally even hits on vital processes were not sufficient to put a whole plant out of commission as had been expected. " U.S. Government Printing Office paperback

2587No date c.1940-1; Sgts. Mess Mildenhall Suffolk. 2 pages 8vo both with Royal Air Force letterhead bearing the motto 'PER ARDUA AD ASTRA'. Not in good condition - creased frayed torn and discoloured - but a marvellous and immediate piece of history regarding what one authority describes as the 'strategic bombing . principally against the Ruhr on which No.149 concentrated during the winter of 1940-1'. The letter begins 'Dear Mum Just a line to thank you for the photographs I think that one of you is very good. I have done two raids so far the last one was very good we bombed the dockyards on the Ruhr and started three lovely big fires I think that every bomber in the Air Force was over that night bombs were bursting everywhere and the A. A. fire was just like bonfire night. I think the German A. A. and their searchlights are rotten they never got anywhere near our machine. We are doing another raid tonight and I hope we give them another good plastering.' Two sentences of domestic comment conclude the letter. It is a question how the writer was able to give away so much information. No date [c.1940-1]; Sgts. Mess, Mildenhall, Suffolk. unknown
