Our Air Force: The Keystone of National Defense
Published in 1921, 'Our Air Force: The Keystone of National Defense' by William Lendrum Mitchell argues for the establishment of a powerful U.S. Air Force as an independent military branch. Drawing from his experiences commanding air operations during World War I, Mitchell contends that future wars will be dominated by air power, advocating for a shift in military funding away from battleships. His controversial views led to a court martial in 1925, highlighting the tension between innovation and tradition in military strategy.
