In this thoroughly researched and lucidly written volume, Lt. Col.
John F. Shiner describes the Air Corps' effort to prepare the
nation for war; to gain money, air craft, and, even more important,
independence; and to achieve a capability to wage aerial war. The
focus of the work is Maj. Gen. Benjamin Foulois and his tenure as
Chief of the Air Corps between 1931 and 1935.
The four years between 1941 and 1945 were years in which the nation
raised and trained an air armada and committed it to operations on
a scale unknown to that time. With Courage: The U.S. Army Air
Forces in World War II retells the story of sacrifice, valor, and
achievements in air campaigns against tough determined adversaries.
It describes the development of a uniquely American doctrine for
the application of air power against an opponent's key industries
and centers of national life, a doctrine whose legacy today is the
Global Reach - Global Power strategic planning framework of the
modern U.S. Air Force. The narrative integrates aspects of
strategic intelligence, logistics, technology, and leadership to
offer a full yet concise account of the contributions of American
air power to victory in that war.
