Allied bombing priorities established
Thursday, June 10, 1943 www.onwar.com

British Bomber Command staff planning operations [photo at link].

From London and Washington... The Joint Chiefs of Staff issue the Pointblank Directive to British and American heavy bomber forces in Europe. The document sets out formal instructions for the priorities and aims of the bomber offensive up to D-Day. The instructions reflect American thought more so than British but the guidelines are vague enough that both the US Air Force and British Bomber Command can continue their independent operations.

In the Mediterranean... The bombardment of the Italian island of Pantelleria continues.
