Aphrodite and Anvil were the World War II code names of United States Army Air Forces and United States Navy operations to use Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and Consolidated PB4Y bombers as precision-guided munitions against bunkers and other hardened/reinforced enemy facilities, such as "Crossbow" operations against German long range missiles.
The missions were not generally successful, and the intended targets in Europe were either overrun by the ground advance of Allied troops or by conventional attacks by aircraft.
