The history of military aviation
Inhalt:
"Craig F. Morris explores the beginnings of American strategic bombing theory, why it changed over time, the factors that shaped that change, and how technology molded military doctrine. This book provides a discussion of the American strategic bombing concept in a way that advances aviation history.
