- W2804429003 abstract "The British bombed the ‘restless natives’ of Afghanistan intermittently between 1915 and 1919. Bombing the Pathans’ irrigation ditches, which cut water supplies and emptied terraces of their topsoil, was deemed more effective than destroying their villages (Lindqvist, 2000, p. 42). The Pathans were temporarily subdued, because food and water were difficult to secure in the bleak, dry region which still remains wretchedly poor. Sir John Maffrey, chief of colonial Britain’s Northwest Frontier Province now Pakistan’s troubled tribal zone along the Afghan border was told by regional airforce headquarters that international law did not apply ‘against savage tribes who do not conform to codes of civilized warfare’ (Ehrlich, 2001). The first air attacks in 1919 to support British and colonial ground columns took place in early May upon Afghan forces in Daka, just over the Khyber Pass. The New York Times1 and the Times2 reported the attacks ‘with good results’. The ‘good result’ here was primarily demoralizing the Afghans, evidence for which was claimed to be the exaggerated casualties (around 600) reported by the Afghans. This was followed by a bombing attack carried out by Bristol F2B aircraft upon Jalalabad, after which ‘large portions of the town are reported to be burnt out’.3 On 24 May, the Handley Page strategic bomber hit Kabul and the Afghan amir’s palace. Soon thereafter, the Afghan amir sued for peace.
