In the pantheon of air power spokesmen, Giulio Douhet holds center stage. His writings, more often cited than perhaps actually read, appear as excerpts and aphorisms in the writings of numerous other air power spokesmen, advocates-and critics. Though a highly controversial figure, the very controversy that surrounds him offers to us a testimonial of the value and depth of his work, and the need for airmen today to become familiar with his thought. The progressive development of air power to the point where, today, it is more correct to refer to aerospace power has not outdated the notions of Douhet in the slightest In fact, in many ways, the kinds of technological capabilities that we enjoy as a global air power provider attest to the breadth of his vision. Douhet, together with Hugh “Boom” Trenchard of Great Britain and William “Billy” Mitchell of the United States, is justly recognized as one of the three great spokesmen of the early air power era. This reprint is offered in the spirit of continuing the dialogue that Douhet himself so perceptively began with the first edition of this book, published in 1921. Readers may well find much that they disagree with in this book, but also much that is of enduring value. The vital necessity of Douhet’s central vision-that command of the air is all important in modern warfare-has been proven throughout the history of wars in this century, from the fighting over the Somme to the air war over Kuwait and Iraq.

The subject of this treatise is war. More specifically, it concerns war conducted in the medium of the air, how it is waged, the effects it produces, and the relationship between this instrument of war and the political oversight it serves. To be clear, though, this treatise is not a checklist for applying airpower in war. It contains no step-by-step instructions for victory. It contains no war stories of daring aviators. It contains no fawning portraits of airpower leaders like Hugh Trenchard, Pete Quesada, or Mike Short. Instead, it mentions the efforts of particular groups of aviators (including the Condor Legion in Spain, the American Volunteer Group in China, and the Royal Air Force during the Battle of Britain) only to illustrate particular points. For example, it does not address the development of specific aircraft, nor does it contain diagrams or charts. Finally, it does not contain any declarative proclamations as to airpower's decisiveness in war. To explore an issue as broad as aerial warfare inevitably runs the risk of focusing too narrowly on the particulars of the subject (thereby failing to anchor the issue in the larger context of which it is a part) or focusing so expansively as to offer only superficial insight into the constituent elements that make up the whole. Cognizant of these hazards, I have tried to avoid these dangers to consider both the depth and breadth of the issue.
