DESCRIPTION:
More than 18,000 American and 22,000 British planes were lost or damaged beyond repair.As a bonus, this reproduction includes the complete 2012 Army Leadership manual (FM 6-22), which describes the Army's view of leadership, outlines the levels of leadership (direct, organizational, and strategic), and describes the attributes and core leader competencies across all levels.. The new role of three-dimensional warfare was even then foreseen by a few farsighted men, but planes were insufficient in quality and quantity to permit much more than occasional brilliant assistance to the ground forces.Air power in the European phase of this war reached a stage of full adolescence, a stage marked by rapid development in planes, armament, equipment, tactics and concepts of strategic employment, and by an extraordinary increase in the effort allocated to it by all the major contestants.

Absolutely one of those books any student of WW2, air power, and strategic bombing MUST have on their shelf!Definitely grab yourself a copy - just a word of warning though: this document is a US government document, and can often be found online for a very low price. So, be sure to check Amazon. Why did The United States Strategic Air Forces not completely destroy all the Rhine River Bridges before and after D-Day? Daniel P. Kneeland When is the U.S Air Force and It's Official Publisher, Air University Press or any American Historians and Authors going to answer 1 Question thoroughly?
