Air Commanders, Paperback / softback Book

Air Commanders Paperback / softback

Edited by John Andreas Olsen

Paperback / softback

Description

Air Commanders combines short military biographies and operational analyses to reveal how the personalities, attitudes, and life experiences of twelve outstanding U.S. airmen shaped the central air campaigns in American history.

From Gen. Carl "Tooey" Spaatz, who began his career in World War I, to the contemporary Gen.

T. Michael "Buzz" Moseley, the case studies illuminate the character of these airmen, the challenges they confronted in widely disparate armed conflicts, and the solutions that they crafted and implemented.

Their achievements proved decisive not only in the campaigns they led, but also in shaping the U.S.

Air Force and the dominant role of airpower in modern warfare.
