Introduction Excerpt:
"The history of warfare is one of changing techniques, but no change was
so
great as the one produced by the use of the ariplane in combat. It
revolutionized both the conduct of battle and the character of warefare,
and became the one decisive factor in determining the outcome of World War
II. To say that World War II was decided in the air does not belittle the
part played by armies and navies in that global conflict. There was still
long and bitter fighting to do on land and sea, but for the first time the
outcome of the battle depended on attaining and maintaining air
supremacy."
The 1962 "War In The Air" 1st edition hardcover book is in excellent
condition (with no jacket).
