Beneficial Bombing: The Progressive Foundations of American Air Power, 1917-1945 - Studies in War, Society, and the Military
Mark Clodfelter
Describes how American airmen, horrified by World War I's trench warfare, turned to the progressive ideas of efficiency and economy in an effort to reform war itself, with the heavy bomber as their solution to limiting the bloodshed. They were convinced that the airplane, used as a bombing platform, offered the means to make wars less lethal than conflicts waged by armies or navies.
