About This Book

The narrative tracks the emergence of powerful airborne technology that suddenly alters warfare, provoking reconnaissance, daring experiments, and escalating international hostilities. Inventors, observers, and military leaders grapple with spectacular new craft that enable long-range attacks, siege, and bombardment of cities, producing urgent political decisions, frantic evacuations, and intimate personal reckonings. Episodes range from duels in the air to ground countermeasures and naval movements, culminating in massive engagements and a negotiated end that leaves societies to assess the human and technological cost.
