Military, 1920-1940 is the fascinating story of how during the interwar years from 1920 to 1940, leaders from the Army Air Corps and the Marine Corps recreated their forces based on concepts and equipment emerging from new military technologies. Moy carefully examines how bureaucratic pressures, institutional cultures, and technological enthusiasm shaped and affected the choices and decisions of key military leaders. Indeed, the very existence of an Army Air Corps was based on the new technology of the airplane, while the Air Corps was compelled to compete for money and other resources during the years following World War I with an America enmeshed in isolationist policies. Moy provides the student of American military history with a cogent, articulate, astute, scholarly, and compelling analysis that will prove a greatly appreciated contribution as both a personal study and an academic reference.
