as far as the RAF were concerned, according to wikipedia, Johnson J.E's "Wing leader" published in 1956 describes the term "rhubarb" as:
"operations when sections of fighters or fighter-bombers, taking full advantage of low cloud and poor visibility, would cross the English Channel and then drop below cloud level to search for opportunity targets such as railway locomotives and rolling stock, aircraft on the ground, enemy troops and vehicles on roads".
given such an attitude and the prevalence of aircraft like the mosquito, p47, i imagine the stance would have been similar; only the targets changed, i imagine the USAF and RAF with the exception of planned close air support operations and missions like a rhubarb, would of focused on armoured columns and logistics and other similar targets of opportunity, squadrons would have been briefed before sortie.
