The following is a list of bomber aircraft, organized by era and manufacturer. A bomber is a military aircraft designed to attack ground or sea targets. ==Bomber types== *''Amerika Bomber'' - very long range German World War 2 bomber intended to attack cities in North America from Europe and return. *Army cooperation aircraft or Scout bomber - also carries out tactical reconnaissance in addition to bombing, are also known as reconnaissance bomber or close support aircraft. Overlaps with observation category. *Bomber-transport - aircraft that combine the functions of a transport and a bomber. Primarily used from the 1920s into the early 1940s. *Counter-insurgency aircraft - light attack bombers used against guerrillas. Many were converted trainers. *Dive bomber - bomber specially strengthened to allow attacks from a near vertical dive - used only from the mid-1930s until the late 1940s. German designation was ''Sturzkampfflugzeug'' often shortened to Stuka. *Fighter-bomber - fighter that have a limited ability to attack ground targets. May be obsolete as fighters. *General purpose aircraft - British 1920s and 1930s term for a multi-role aircraft used for light bombing, observation, training and sometimes as a fighter. *Ground attack - also known as attack bombers, ''shturmovik'' and ''schlachtflugzeug'' - light and medium bombers used in a tactical role. Often armoured against ground fire. *Heavy bomber - subjective description of size compared to contemporary types - definition varies by country and era, and reclassification as larger aircraft enter service is common. The German World War I designations ''grossflugzeuge'' (large aircraft) and ''riesenflugzeuge'' (giant aircraft) are analogous. *Interdictor - bombers designed to attack targets behind the enemy front lines, with the intention of preventing forces and material reaching the battlefront. *Level bomber - the opposite of a dive bomber, aircraft flies at a constant altitude while dropping bombs. Term only current during the late 1930s and early 1940s *Light bomber - subjective description of size compared to contemporary types - definition varies by country and era, and in general used from the 1920s to 1950s. Often single or two seat single engine propeller-powered aircraft. *Master Bomber - marked targets with smoke and flares during World War 2 for other bombers to aim for. Sometimes referred to as a Pathfinder. *Medium bomber - subjective description of size compared to contemporary types - definition varies by country and era. *Minelayer - aircraft used to deploy minefields - can be nearly any type of bomber. *Night Bomber - bomber designed for making attacks at night when intercepting fighters are at a disadvantage. *Maritime reconnaissance/Maritime patrol/Patrol bomber - used to control sea-lanes - can usually attack ships and in later examples, submarines. Most modern examples are converted transports. *''Schnellbomber'' - German designation for a high-speed bomber used speed to avoid interception, however, increases in speed of intercepting fighter usually made these obsolete quickly. *Stealth bomber - bomber designed and equipped to make detection by radar and infra-red devices difficult. *Strategic bomber - bomber used to destroy targets having a long-term strategic impact - such as industrial production or transportation networks. *Strike fighter - similar to ground attack or fighter-bomber and may have minimal air-to-air combat capabilities. *Tactical bomber - bomber used to destroy targets in direct support of ground operations. *Torpedo bomber - bomber whose primary weapon is a torpedo. First examples appeared during World War I, term rare since the 1960s when other weapons became available and reduced specialization. Related types include torpedo-fighter (similar to fighter-bomber) and torpedo-dive bomber. *Ural bomber - early 1930s German long-range bomber program. *V bomber - series of 3 heavy strategic jet bombers produced by the British in the 1950s. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of bomber aircraft」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
