Inspector of Bombers (German: Inspekteur der Kampfflieger) was not a rank but a leading position within the High Command of the Luftwaffe (Oberkommando der Luftwaffe), the air force of Nazi Germany. The inspector was responsible for the readiness, training and tactics of the bomber force. It was not an operational command. The senior commander position of this unit was redesignated to General of Bombers (German: General der Kampfflieger) in 1942.
