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 was the Spitfire fighter plane modified in World War 2?
The Spitfire was a US Air Force fighter plane. It was an excellent plane, however, many in the US military during World War Two believed it was too slow and did not have enough fuel to accompany Allied bombers on their way to bomb German targets. The Royal Air Force recommended using Rolls Royce engines to increase its speed and also to add extra fuel tanks to the plane. This would allow for the Spitfires to help protect Allied bombers on their way to bomb targets in Germany.
