Coventry was part of Britains industrial centre of production, among, of course, many other places. The Luftwaffe was guided by the transmission of radio beams sent from 2 different locations, when the beams intersected the Bomber was over Coventry. At this time bomb aiming from an aeroplane was very haphazard indeed & the targetting of individual sites was very hit & miss (Mostly miss) & therefore civillians were attacked as much as military targets. Incendiary bombs were dropped to set fire to buildings, and once alight these fires attracted more of the same.
