“A History of Air Warfare is an epic work that captures all the
essential elements that have made the airplane a dominant force in
warfare. The authors are the most knowledgeable for each period
they chronicle. Most of all, the readers will be captivated as they
relive the excitement of swirling air battles or the use of modern
marvels such as stealth tactics, precision weapons, or air campaign
planning. This book should be required reading for all military
leaders, but it is also great entertainment for the general reader
as it captures the vivid history of our new way of war.”
*Gen. Charles A. Horner, USAF (Ret.)*
“Everything you need to know about the evolution of modern air
warfare is here. I have been studying air warfare for over forty
years now, but if I had room for only one historical volume that
encapsulated the evolution of western air warfare since 1914, this
would be it. It is superbly written. Should be on the syllabus for
staff colleges and a must for all serious students of modern
warfare.”
*RUSI Journal*
“A better qualified editor for such a volume could hardly be found.
There is no better work on the general history of air warfare than
this volume.”
*The Journal of Military History*
