Sobre este artículo
New York: Garland Publishing, Inc, 1976. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. Very good. xi, [1], 231, [1] pages. Note Guide and Glossary. Notes. Select Bibliography. Index. Dr. David MacIsaac (USAF Lt. Col., Ret.) in four tours teaching history at the Air Force Academy during the 1960s and 70s, he challenged the thoughts of future officers; from 1979-1981 when he served at Air University's Maxwell AFB as Chief of Military History at the Air War College, and from 1982 through 1991 he was a dominant figure at Maxwell's Air Power Research Institute. During that almost thirty-year span as an educator, he also produced an array of writing that remains among the best works ever analyzing Air Force history and military theory. Those works include his masterful examination of America's World War II's strategic bombing survey: Strategic Bombing in World War II: The Story of the U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey. The United States Strategic Bombing Survey was a written report created by a board of experts assembled to produce an impartial assessment of the effects of Anglo-American strategic bombing of Nazi Germany during the European theater of World War II. After publishing its report, the Survey members then turned their attention to the efforts against Imperial Japan during the Pacific War, including a separate section on the recent use of the atomic bombs. In total, the reports contained 208 volumes for Europe and another 108 for the Pacific, comprising thousands of pages. The reports' conclusions were generally favorable about the contributions of Allied strategic bombing towards victory, calling it "decisive". Only one position of influence was given to a prominent military officer, USAAF General Orvil A. Anderson. Anderson was the only one on the survey board who knew about procedures of strategic bombing as Jimmy Doolittle's former deputy commander of operations. While the Board was established by General Hap Arnold along with Carl A. Spaatz.
