No single human invention has transformed war more than the airplane not even the atomic bomb.

Drawing on combat memoirs, letters, diaries, archival records, museum collections, and eyewitness accounts by the men who fought and the men who developed the breakthrough inventions and concepts acclaimed author Stephen Budiansky weaves a vivid and dramatic account of the airplane s revolutionary transformation of modern warfare.On the web: http: //www.budiansky.com/"
