Type that's used in a bombing raid (6)
I believe the answer is:
sortie
'a bombing raid' is the definition.
'sortie' can be an answer for 'raid' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not certain of the 'a bombing' bit.
'type that's' is the wordplay.
'type' becomes 'sort' (both can mean a kind or variety).
'that's' becomes 'ie' (abbreviation for 'id est', 'that is' in Latin).
'sort'+'ie'='SORTIE'
'used in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sortie that I've seen before include "Warplane's flight" , "Short trip; attack" , "Breakout by besieged garrison" , "Raid - short trip" , "Sudden attack by besieged troops" .)
