The Lion Killers: Billy Mitchell and the Birth of Strategic Bombing - Softcover
The story of the birth of airpower and the people who fought for its existence. A staunch advocate of airpower, Brigadier General William Mitchell's ideas were controversial in a time when the general and the admiral were deemed the sole proprietors of modern warfare. His historic bombing trials and personal journey to show the full military potential of airpower would lead him into a national controversy and a pyrrhic outcome. Includes the controversy leading to America?s most infamous courts-martial.
