30x22,5x2,9cm. Traces the history of the world's
air forces from the early days of Zeppelin attacks,
heroic dogfights and the phenomenon of the aces,
through the interwar years to the days of the
Blitzkrieg and the strategic use of air power. He
examines the growth and traditions of the air forces
of Germany, Britain, France, Russia, Japan, the
United States and many of the minor air forces. He
assesses the effectiveness of the men, machines and
the decisive influence they had on the course of the
two wars. Both the organizational and technical
aspects of the air services are examined up to the
atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which
proved that air power had finally evolved into a
weapon of supreme strategic importance. This
authoritative text is vividly brought to life by
color and black and white photographs, and
specially-commissioned color illustrations, maps and
diagrams.
