bomber pilots
Aerial payload deliverers
Bomber pilots are aircrew members who fly bomber aircraft—military planes designed to drop explosive ordnance on ground or naval targets.
The term evokes World War II imagery of crews flying missions over enemy territory: His grandfather was a bomber pilot in the Pacific.
Unlike fighter pilots who engage in aerial combat, bomber pilots historically focused on delivering payloads to strategic targets.
