Description: Random House, New York, 1960, Good only former library copy, first edition stated, in library binding with usual markings, red covers with sun faded spine, binding solid, 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. 312pp. Subtitle; "From Start to Finish of Our Greatest War."Mitchell served in France during World War 1, and, by the conflict's end, commanded all American air combat units in that country. After the war, he was appointed deputy director of the Air Service and began advocating for increased investment in air power, believing that this would prove vital in future wars. He argued particularly for the ability of bombers to sink battleships and organized a series of bombing runs against stationary ships designed to test the idea.He antagonized many administrative leaders of the Army with his arguments and criticism and in 1925, his temporary appointment as a brigadier general was not renewed, and he reverted to his permanent rank of colonel, due to his insubordination ."(Wikipedia)
