    Summary:
    A first-class study of the development and application of airpower during WWI. Tracing events back to the use of lighter-than-air vehicles at the turn of the century, Kennett's book examines the various roles performed by airpower across all theatres. The 275pp book covers technology and design, leadership and doctrine, personality, national character and inter-Service rivalry to look at similarities and differences between the various beligerents. The final chapter looks forward beyond 1918 to further emerging roles such as strategic bombing and maritime strike, and speculates on their effect had the war continued into 1919. 16 pages of photos and illustrations.
