Air Power: From Kitty Hawk to Gulf War II: A history of the people, ideas and machines that transformed war in the century of flight - Softcover
No single human invention has changed war more than the aeroplane. The potential of air power to revolutionize the very nature - perhaps even the meaning - of combat was strikingly evident almost from the moment the Wright brothers first flew. Stephen Budiansky tells the story of air power showing how, in the course of the 20th century, it transformed warfare.
