    Summary note
    "Craig F. Morris explores the beginnings of American strategic bombing theory, why it changed over time, the factors that shaped that change, and how technology molded military doctrine. This book provides a discussion of the American strategic bombing concept in a way that advances aviation history. By tracing the complex interrelationships of these four causal factors, this book provides a greater understanding of the origins and rise to dominance of American strategic bombing theory."--Provided by publisher.
