Additional information
by Giulio Douhet (Author)
2020 Reprint of the 1983 Edition. This reprint of the 1942 English translation of Douhet's works, while titled Command of the Air, actually consists of five separate works: the original 1921 edition of Command of the Air, a second edition of 1927, a 1928 monograph titled Probable Aspects of Future War, a polemical article of 1929 called Recapitulation and the 1930 study The War of 19---. By transporting ourselves back to the 1920s, past not only the Vietnam and Korean Wars, but nearly two decades before World War II, we become silent observers of the unfolding drama of airpower's history. Giulio Douhet was a prophet. From the perspective of today, he still is worthy of consideration, despite the passage of the years.
