Abstract "Spanish Civil War airpower as observed by the American military, from the onset of the conflict in 1936 to its conclusion in 1939. The book is structured to first place the Spanish Civil War within the broader context of early U.S. airpower development, progressing through the narrative of the war while focusing on key air operations and technological advancements. Special attention is given to the American pilots and military attaches, such as Townsend Griffiss, who were embedded in Spain, and how their observations influenced airpower strategies in World War II and beyond"-- Provided by publisher.
