Críticas

"Murphy and McNiece (history and history/political science, respectively, Howard Payne U.) take a higher-level look at the policies and strategies that made airpower the great equalizer in war and diplomacy as well as describe the great airplanes of World War II. They give full credit to the years between the world wars when military and political strategists realized the potential of aviation as a threat as well as a practical way to locate and attack locations unavailable or excessively dangerous to ground troops, and carefully catalog the full range of airships that developed as a result. Budding aficionados can use this to begin their research about specific machines or models and those with specific preferences will find this handy to make comparisons. The many period illustrations are useful and well-chosen." - Reference & Research Book News "It covers a crucial era in military development and should be a part of any serious military collection and many a general-interest lending library." - The Midwest Book Review "Considering the emergence of air power following World War I, this is a handy reference volume and fits well with the design of the series. While numerous other books on World War II aircraft are readily available, this volume with a textual emphasis provides more than those heavily illustrated selections." - ARBA
