Second world war bombers changed the weather - environment - 08 July 2011 - New Scientist: "Allied bombing raids during the second world war inadvertently experimented on the weather by producing huge contrails over south-east England. A study of one 1944 raid offers a rare opportunity to check our models of how contrails change temperatures.
After listening to a radio programme in which an elderly woman recalled seeing a wartime sky 'turn white with clouds' as fleets of bombers took off, Roger Timmis of Lancaster Environment Centre in the UK realised that the planes could have affected the weather."
