With Courage : The United States Army Air Forces in World War 2

The 4 years between 1941 & 1945 marked a time when the nation raised & trained an air armada & committed it to operations on a scale unknown to that time. This book retells the story of sacrifice, valor, & achievements in air campaigns against tough, determined adversaries. Describes the development of a uniquely American doctrine for the application of air power against an opponent's key industries & 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, & leadership to offer a full yet concise account of the contributions of American air power to victory in that war.
