I’ve recently came across a rather unusual volume, a collection of historically important documents, speeches and articles.

Ever wonder what Stanley Baldwin really meant when he wrote…The bomber will always get through”? or the development of the UK’s “Air Policing” policy from a lecture by air Commodore Portal, Douhet’s influential comments on the development of air power, a e Churchill’s period writings about air power from 1918, a aware my about German air power in 1934, or the full text of his “…so few” speech?

I found them all in a scholarly 1957 American book on the impact of air power.
I ‘ve been reading aviation history for 50 years and had never heard of the nook, but I stumbled on it at a library used book sale in a nearby small town. The price for all this historical insight? $1. So there are still deals out there.
