Means of Attack from the Air and from Space,
Abstract
With the advent of the airplane the arena of combat action was extended into the air and into the enemy's far rear; armored units completely displaced the cavalry from combat use; the general characteristics and capabilities of combat equipment made World War I primarily positional and World War II primarily a war of maneuvers; the very existence of atomic and hydrogen bombs and their principal carriers -- missiles, even without first being established in a war even of limited size, have had the result that the greatest military powers, assuming their large-scale use and the effect of their action in a future war, have made substantial corrections in preparations for the conduct of warfare.
