From the foreword: "In the 1930s the Air Corps Tactical School at
Maxwell Field, Alabama, was the birthplace and nurturing ground for
American air doctrine. The work undertaken at the school became
manifest in the skies over Europe, the Mediterranean, and the
Pacific in the Second World War. Those who studied and taught there
were the same individuals who prepared America for war, and then
led its airmen into combat. This band of men spawned and shaped the
independent United States Air Force in the postwar era. Their
influence is still felt today, for they developed the airpower
doctrines and institutions that enabled the United States to
prevail in the Cold War. Their strategic vision, evolved from the
thoughts of Douhet, Mitchell, and Trenchard, is now embodied in the
Air Force's notion of Global Reach-Global Power. The legacy of the
Air Corps Tactical School continues on with the comprehensive
programs of the Air University, the world's premier airpower
training institution. From flight within the atmosphere to flight
within space, American airmen fly their missions based on
principles enunciated in the lecture halls of Maxwell Air Force
Base."
