Air Power: The Men, Machines, and Ideas That Revolutionized War, from Kitty Hawk to Iraq

No single human invention has transformed war more than the airplaneâ€”not even the atomic bomb. Even before the Wright Brothersâ€™ first flight, predictions abounded of the devastating and terrible consequences this new invention would have as an engine of war. Soaring over the battlefield, the airplane became an unstoppable force that left no spot on earth safe from attack. Drawing on combat memoirs, letters, diaries, archival records, museum collections, and eyewitness accounts by the men who foughtâ€”and the men who developed the breakthrough inventions and conceptsâ€”acclaimed author Stephen Budiansky weaves a vivid and dramatic account of the airplaneâ€™s revolutionary transformation of modern warfare.
