Professor Overy places the aerial component of the war perspective by explaining the role aviation played in the overall conflict. [...] Finally, the author dispels many popular myths and in particular reveals that although air power in the form of strategic bombing by itself did not determine the war's final outcome, its use dramatically illustrated the complexities of managing modern war.
