Giulio Douhet is generally considered the world's most important
air-power theorist and this book offers the first comprehensive
account of his air-power concepts. It ranges from 1884 when an air
service was first implemented within the Italian military to the
outbreak of the Second World War, and explores the evolution and
dissemination of Douhet's ideas in an international context. It
examines the impact of the Libyan war, the First World War and
Ethiopian war on the development of Italian air-power strategy. It
also addresses the issue of Douhet's advocacy of strategic bombing,
exploring why it was that Douhet became an advocate of city
bombing; the meaning and the limits of his core concept of 'command
of the air'; and the mutual impact of air power, military and naval
thought. It also takes into account alternatives to Douhetism such
as the theories developed by Amedeo Mecozzi and others.
