Editorial Reviews

Nine contributors focus on key issues in the field and span the history of air warfare from WWI to the 1991 Gulf War. Three of the essays analyze the nature of Anglo-American air doctrine and cooperation during 1941-1945, both in the bombing of Germany and the Atlantic maritime war against the U-boat menace. Two essays concern the Cold War and its aftermath. Distributed by ISBS. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
