Architects of air power

Military leaders, doubtful at first of the airplane's utility, soon recognised its value as an aerial scout. And before long, fast fighter planes armed with machine guns were ordered into battle to support the armies of both the Allies and the Central Powers. But a few farsighted men - notably British Chief of Air Staff Hugh Trenchard, William 'Billy' Mitchell of the United States Army's Air Service and an Italian Army colonel named Giulio Douhet - insisted that an air force could undertake independent offensive action in war. Each of them on his own evolved a doctrine of strategic air power based on the ability of long-range bombers to attack industrial and transportation centres far behind the enemy's front lines.
