DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Virginia of the Air Lanes Over his cheeks and nose were scattered broad brown blotches which, had it not been for their size, might have been called freckles. He rolled a cigarette, lighted it, turned his almost colorless eyes on his companion, repeating, "She's sho' boun' fo' N'Yawlins." In the mien of the young man there was something of kinship to the elder, as there might be in a New England chemist or engineer something that is like his forty-second cousin fishing on the Newfoundland Banks. The softness of speech was modified to a subtle firmness and a subdued decision. The slight, tall frame was arrowy and erect; as if the youth had imbibed from some winier air a latent self-esteem expressed in the hint of incisiveness in speech, if one may call that incisive which was still soft and almost caressing. The boy also had the areas of mottled freckling, overlaying a pink glow. He wore a blue flannel shirt with a bright silk cravat; his shoes were scoured gray by the beach sand, and his well-shaped hat was powdered with it; his trousers were of cadet gray and were striped down the side; seemingly they were a part of some obsolete uniform.

But for the maga zines the literary men of my generation would scarcely have found a public, and at least one of them would probably never have found it.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 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progressive development of air power to the point where, today, it is more correct to refer to aerospace power has not outdated the notions of Douhet in the slightest In fact, in many ways, the kinds of technological capabilities that we enjoy as a global air power provider attest to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.
