The Army and Its Air Corps: Army Policy Toward Aviation, 1919-1941

Abstract

'The Army and Its Air Corps' was James P. Tate's doctoral dissertation at Indiana University in 1976. During the past 22 years, Tate's remarkable work has gained wide acceptance among scholars for its authoritative and well-documented treatment of the formative years of what eventually became the United States Air Force. Thoroughly researched but bearing its scholarship lightly, Tate's narrative moves swiftly as it describes the ambitions, the frustrations, and the excruciatingly slow march to final success that never deterred the early airmen. 'The Army and Its Air Corps' is one in a series of airpower history classics that the Air University Press is pleased to bring before a wider audience.
