This week's programme in the series on Man and Science today
On the night of 13 February 1945, 3,000 tons of high explosives and three-quarters of a million incendiaries destroyed the city of Dresden so completely that the number of people killed can only be guessed at. It was the greatest single act of destruction in the history of mankind, greater even than Hiroshima, and the ultimate expression of a policy of total war that had begun with the tentative development of the bomber 30 years before.
Nowhere have science and technology had more impact on military policy than in the use of the aeroplane in war - and few policies have generated more controversy than the bombing of civilians in the Second World War, in the 50 wars since, and in the war in Vietnam.
Critics have claimed that this policy of total war gained acceptance not because it is effective, but because it is possible.
Tonight's Horizon examines just how effective the bomber has been as an instrument of war, and what sort of role it will play in the future.
