Trade paperback. Zustand: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. xix, [1], 300 pages. Illustrations. Maps (some folding). Charts (one folding). Glossary. Bibliographic Note. Index. Cover has slight wear and soiling. This is one of the USAF Warrior Studies series. Haywood S. Hansell Jr. (September 28, 1903 November 14…, 1988) was a general officer in the U. S. Army Air Forces during WWII, and later the U. S. Air Force. He became an advocate of strategic bombing, and was one of the chief architects of daylight precision bombing used in the war. Hansell played a key role in the strategic planning of air operations. He helped draft both the strategic air war plans and the plan for the Combined Bomber Offensive in Europe; obtaining a base of operations for the B-29 in the Marianas; and devising the command structure of the Twentieth Air Force, the first global strategic air force (forerunner of the Strategic Air Command). He made precision air attack a lifelong crusade that eventually became the key tenet of airpower employment. Hansell held combat commands, carrying out the very plans he helped draft. He pioneered strategic bombardment of Germany and Japan, as commander of the first B-17 Flying Fortress combat wing in Europe, and as the first commander of the B-29 force in the Marianas. From the Preface: The history of American air power is very short indeed. The birth of powered flight is coincident with my own. The experience and history of air war are in their infancy. They are measured in a few decades, actually in the span of my own lifetime. There has been only one major conflict involving application of air power on a grand scale. And yet that air experience has had a profound impact upon war, and upon nations in competition and conflict short of major war. There is dispute over the relative merits of historical experience and of abstract logic in the development of effective combat forces. Military aviation strategists must make the best of very limited historical experience and derive requirements based upon logic and forecast. This book seeks to recount the air experience and development before World War II, to describe the objectives, plans and effects of strategic air warfare in Europe and in the Pacific, and to offer criticism, opinion, and lessons of that great conflict.
