STRATEGIC AIR OFFENSIVE AGAINST GERMANY. VOL 1. PREPARATIONS

Discover the behind-the-scenes of strategic bombing operations during World War II, which had a tremendous impact on the course of the conflict. "The Strategic Air Offensive against Germany" by Charles Webster and Noble Frankland is a comprehensive analysis of this controversial but crucial aspect of the war. The first volume introduces the period of preparations for these strategic operations, which during World War I were a completely new method of warfare.

• In-depth analysis of strategic bombing operations in Europe.
• Detailed discussion of preparations for the air offensive.
• Presentation of revolutionary concepts for the use of air forces.
• Objective view on the decisions and mistakes of commanders.

The authors discuss the general assumptions about the strategic use of air forces and the formation in the interwar period of revolutionary concepts that assumed that air forces could independently resolve an armed conflict. Further chapters present the clash of these theories with the reality of war and the evolution of concepts adapted to the realities of combat. This volume describes the three most difficult years for Bomber Command, when the command gained valuable experience that would pay off later in the war.

This work is characterized by great detail and clarity in the presentation of arguments, aiming to show the reader how many factors influenced the conduct of such a modern form of armed combat. The authors present the figures of key decision-makers in an objective and thorough manner, analyze the motives for their attitudes and choices, and, when necessary, describe the mistakes and their consequences. Numerous quotes in the text are a valuable addition to these analyses. Despite the time that has passed since its first publication in 1961, this book remains a very valuable study.
