Military Aircraft, 1919-1945: An Illustrated History of Their Impact (Weapons and Warfare) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is one of the poorest on the subject I have ever seen. It neither provides any analyisis or context about the developnment of the technologies involved. Much of the text is merely a recitation of technical specifications better presented in tabular form, with no connection to the technical and tactical developments of the period.
The photographs are neither well chosen nor informative. Save your money, there are many better books on the subject out there, send this one to pulp.

Military Aircraft, 1919–1945: An Illustrated History of Their Impact covers a crucial era in modern warfare technology. Ranging from the development of airpower doctrines in the aftermath of World War I to the aircraft and missions that put those doctrines into action during World War II, it provides an expert summing-up of the decades when the use of aircraft in battle came of age.



In chapters covering both the history of air power and specific types of aircraft (fighters, bombers, reconnaissance and auxiliary planes),Military Aircraft, 1919–1945 introduces key theorists and designers, describes important changes in technology and production, and recreates spectacular episodes from Pearl Harbor to the London Blitz to the Enola Gay. Readers will see the dramatic impact of the first generation of modern military aircraft on land and sea. They will also see how the expansion of war to the skies brought economic opportunity to some home fronts, and looming terror and devastation to others.
