Why did allied bombers miss their targets?
One of the reasons for the low rate of target hits in the beginning of the war, was that the bombing raids were done at night and bombadiers had a hard time identifying the target. And when the allied bombers started bombing during the day, there was a couple of things that made it difficult to hit the target. One was that the amount of flak in the air as they got closer to the target and the resulting shaking of the plane. Another problem was the weather. Clouds could cover up the target.

How did General Grant's policies on raids compare to the Allied bombing of Germany in World War 2?
Some historians see that Grant's raids against Southern communications were similar to one of the principal objectives of strategic bombing in WW 2. Perhaps the truly successful part of Allied bombing of Germany in WW 2 was the Allied attack on German railroads. One significant difference was that Grant's raids on Southern railways was not intended to terrorize Southern civilians. Allied bombing of Germany in the middle of WW 2 not only were designed to destroy rail links but to bring terror to German civilians. Curiously the railway bombings failed to destroy rail links that transported Jews to the Nazi death camps.
