Description

"Air Force" covers the entire history of the U.S. Air Force and its development from its beginnings early in the last century, initial success in World War I flying British and French built aircraft, to the globe-circling force of World War II, and becoming the world's largest, most powerful, and most versatile air-combat force. Special attention is paid to the air force's recent, post-Vietnam history, and an entire chapter is devoted to America's air force of the future.
