Craig F. Morris explores the beginnings of American strategic
bombing theory, why it changed over time, the factors that shaped
that change, and how technology molded military doctrine. This
much-needed book provides a full spectrum discussion of the
American strategic bombing concept in a way that advances aviation
history.In the minds of forward thinking aerial theorists the new
technology of the airplane removed the limitations of geography,
defenses, and operational reach that had restricted ground and
naval forces since the dawn of human conflict. With aviation, a
nation could avoid costly traditional military campaigns and attack
the industrial heart of an enemy using long-range bombers. Yet, the
acceptance of strategic bombing doctrine proved a hard-fought
process. This is not the story of any one person or event; instead,
it is a twisting tale of individual efforts, organizational
infighting, political priorities, and technological integration. By
tracing the complex interrelationships of these four causal
factors, this book provides a greater understanding of the origins
and rise to dominance of American strategic bombing theory.
