High level bombing (also called high-altitude bombing) is a tactic of fixed-wing bomber aircraft in level flight dropping aerial bombs from high altitude. The term is used to contrast with both World War II-era dive bombing and modern medium/low-altitude close air support bombing, in both of which the attacking aircraft is directly subjected to anti-aircraft fires from the ground.
