No single human invention has changed the nature of war more that
the development of the aeroplane. The History of Air Warfare is a
highly illustrated and accessible account of the development of
aerial warfare, from the first skirmishes over the Western Front in
World War I to today's hi-tech netcentric aerial battlespace.
Developing from unpowered observation hot air balloons in the 18th
century and even the older kite, aerial warfare has become a
multibillion-dollar industry and has led to many advances in
technology and techniques such as aerodynamics, propulsion, radar
and use of composites and engineered materials such as carbon
fibre. Featuring more than 120 complex computer-generated battle
maps and graphics, the History of Air Warfare explores every major
air battle to have taken place in the world's skies, as well as
documenting the air element of campaigns such as Operation
Barbarossa and Operation Desert Storm. Extensively researched text
tells the history and the stories behind these battles concisely
and clearly.
