Fighting From Above

Fighting from Above provides a comprehensive historical account of the United States Air Force (USAF), tracing its evolution from early aerial operations before World War I to the challenges of modern airpower in space. Author Brian D. Laslie identifies four distinct epochs in the development of USAF strategies, examining the progression from early air power and strategic dominance to tactical ascendancy, and now, the evolving landscape of drone technology and the U.S. Space Force. This authoritative narrative addresses not only combat operations but also the interplay of technology, politics, and training that shaped American airpower.
