| Summary Note | Summary: Before the advent of the bomber, war was a two dimensional affair. The airplane added the all-important third dimension, quickly bringing the battlefield to any part of the earth and involving civilian populations almost as much as the military. [The author] traces the growth of this great new forces--the tentative and inconclusive use of the bomber in World War I, the terrible effectiveness of the strategic air offensives against Germany and Japan in World War II, the somewhat limited use of weapons in the Korean War, and the uneasy stalemate of the long-range manned bomber and the guided and ballistic missiles of today.
