Air Power - The Story Of The Us Air Force - Up And Away 1907-1942
In Up and Away 1907–1942, we follow the evolution of US air power from its birth in 1907 to its emergence during World War II as the greatest air force ever conceived. During this thirty-five year period, aviation technology grew by leaps and bounds, evolving from the simple bi-planes of the Wright Brothers to the giant bombers and fi ghter aircraft that would come to play a critical role in the conduct of the war.
THE BEGINNINGS 1907–1939
In this chapter, we examine the birth of the Army Air Force, its role during World War I, its subsequent contraction after the war, the struggle of the early advocates of military aviation to persuade the Pentagon to develop an air force, and the beginnings of the modern Air Force during the 1930s.
