Synopsis
Brassey's Air Combat Reader is an exciting anthology of some of the 20th century's best writing on the topic of air combat. Chapters span the history of military aviation, from WWI through to the Persian Gulf War, and examines the evolution of air combat strategy and tactics. The collection contains first-person memoirs by aviation legends such as Antoine de Saint-Exupery, hair-raising third-person accounts of heroic feats by great pilots such as Douglas Bader and heroic leaders such as Pete Mischer. Classic chapters on the art and science of air warfare, written by visionaries Billy Mitchell, Giulio Douhet, and others trace the evolution of military aviation.
