ABOUT
A fascinating survey of air power in the two World Wars.
Newspaperman and ex-Squadron Leader Gerald Bowman has based this book on the immensely popular series of 15 television films made by the BBC, for which Air Chief Marshal Sir Philip Joubert was Technical Adviser. Here, told compactly, is the story of the immense air power developed by the Allies from puny beginnings to the atom bomb. The final section, specially rewritten for this edition, focuses on the future, outlining the part that air power is likely to play in world affairs in view of the nuclear bomb, Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles,
