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.

WEAPONS AND WARFARE: AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF THEIR IMPACT covers military aircraft from 1919-1945, surveying the development of airpower doctrines after World War I and providing assessment of not only military might, but economic opportunity and how the first generation of military aircraft affected land and sea around the world. It covers a crucial era in military development and should be a part of any serious military collection and many a general-interest lending library.
