Giulio Douhet stands out among military theorists for his prescient insights into how the advent of airpower would change modern warfare. Despite having very little actual flying experience, Douhet formed a theory of airpower that still deserves study today. He recognized that the development of the airplane would make "command of the air" the first objective in any campaign and the ultimate enabler of victory in war. While his insights into the importance of air superiority deserve study, it is his recognition of how the character of war would change in the airpower age that proved prophetic. This 2019 edition, based on the Air Force Museum's 1998 edition, collects Douhet's separate writings The Command of the Air, The Probable Aspects of the War of the Future, Recapitulation, and The War of 19- into one volume
