Description

A first in the field of military studies, Air Warfare: An International
Encyclopedia is a wealth of information—a comprehensive
source of names and places, planes and aces, designers
and builders.But more than anything it is a record of
ideas, developed and brought to fruition over the past century,
relating to the conduct of warfare in the third dimension.
The men and women, the thinkers and visionaries, the
planners and executers of air warfare had new and different
ideas about the use of the air—and space—for the prosecution
of war and the preservation of peace.
