Excerpt from Manual of Military Aviation: Prepared for the Use of Personnel of Aircraft Troops of the Army, National Guard and Reserve Corps; Officers of the Army, National Guard and Reserve Corps; Members of Military Training Camps; And Airmen in General The events of the past few years have clearly demonstrated that a strong and well organized air service is a vital accessory of the modern military machine. Without an efficient air service, an army is blind and impotent against an adversary so equipped. The strength of an effective air service is measured in thousands of properly manned aircraft, organized into properly balanced military aircraft units. This presumes an aircraft industry organized to meet every demand, and an extensive system of aircraft arsenals, depots, training bases and flying stations. A highly trained, specialized personnel must be provided for the air service. Mechanical or technical training, knowledge and experience are essential. The value of supplementing such train ing by suitable theoretical instruction cannot be gainsaid. This manual is intended for use as a textbook, and as a refer ence work, for such theoretical instruction. The subject matter of the manual is based on rules, regulations and practice existing in the Aviation Section of the United States Army and upon common practice followed in foreign aviatic organizations.

In the pantheon of air power spokesmen, Giulio Douhet holds center stage. His writings, more often cited than perhaps actually read, appear as excerpts and aphorisms in the writings of numerous other air power spokesmen, advocates-and critics. Though a highly controversial figure, the very controversy that surrounds him offers to us a testimonial of the value and depth of his work, and the need for airmen today to become familiar with his thought. The progressive development of air power to the point where, today, it is more correct to refer to aerospace power has not outdated the notions of Douhet in the slightest In fact, in many ways, the kinds of technological capabilities that we enjoy as a global air power provider attest to the breadth of his vision. Douhet, together with Hugh “Boom” Trenchard of Great Britain and William “Billy” Mitchell of the United States, is justly recognized as one of the three great spokesmen of the early air power era. This reprint is offered in the spirit of continuing the dialogue that Douhet himself so perceptively began with the first edition of this book, published in 1921. Readers may well find much that they disagree with in this book, but also much that is of enduring value. The vital necessity of Douhet’s central vision-that command of the air is all important in modern warfare-has been proven throughout the history of wars in this century, from the fighting over the Somme to the air war over Kuwait and Iraq.

Excerpt from The German Air Force in the Great War For this purpose much new material will be em ployed, and I shall reveal to the world many things which hitherto have been guarded as official secrets. With the aid and criticism of others it will be possible not only to outline essentials, but also to place events in their order of merit or importance. Furthermore, we may bring about an appreciation of those methods which solved for our Air Force the many problems of organisation and design, and piloted it through so many grave crises. To the rising generation, upon whom lies the burden of carrying out the plans for that future aerial development which is to be the harbinger of peace and unity among the nations, perhaps this book may prove a source of enthusiasm and inspiration. In time to come, those who turn these pages may re member with a thrill of gratitude that during the bitter, bloody struggle for the mastery of the air was laid the foundation of peaceful aerial navigation.
