Bomber Barons, Bureaucrats, and Budgets. Your Professional Reading on the Theory and Doctrine of Strategic Air Attack

Abstract

The Spring 1993 issue of this journal contained an article titled "The Douhet Society: A Recipe for Your Professional Development Program?" In it, Lt Col Kimble D. Stohry advocated the formation of a kind of great books discussion group for the unit level to stimulate Air Force professional reading programs. It is a great idea. One sample of a similar idea currently in operation is among School of Advanced Airpower Studies (SAAS) graduates who organized a Mitchell Society at the Air Staff and interested others in participating. A sort of precedent for them was the mentorship of Gen Fox Conner for Maj Dwight Eisenhower in the 1920s. That, too, was built around the reading and discussion of the military classics.
