carpet bombing

Carpet bombing, also known as saturation bombing, is a large aerial bombing done in a progressive manner to inflict damage in every part of a selected area of land. The phrase evokes the image of explosions completely covering an area, in the same way that a carpet covers a floor. Carpet bombing is usually achieved by dropping many unguided bombs.
The term ''obliteration bombing'' is sometimes used to describe especially intensified bombing with the intention of destroying a city or a large part of the city. The term ''area bombing'' refers to indiscriminate bombing of an area, and also encompasses cases of carpet bombing, including obliteration bombing. It was used in that sense especially during World War II.
== Early history ==
One of the first cases of carpet bombing was by the German Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War against Republican infantry during the Battle of El Mazuco;〔Juan Antonio de Blas, "El Mazuco (La defensa imposible)" (pp369–383), in ''La guerra civil en Asturias'', Ediciones Júcar, Gijón 1986.〕〔(excerpt from de Blas source translated to English "El Mazuco (the impossible defence)" ) ((Spanish version ); verified against original book 11/2004)〕 in this case the targeted troops were dispersed on rocky slopes and the Condor Legion learned that carpet bombing was not very effective in such terrain.
