For thousands of years mankind has had the ambition to fly like a bird but was never able to make the dream a reality. That is, until the 20th century, when the technology arrived and the first few aviators were able to soar into the sky. But man is a warlike breed and no soonerhad the secret of flight been cracked than this latest achievement became a weapon of war. In Military Aircraft in Flight the author Michael Sharpe examines the development of airborne warfare from the earliest days over the World War I battlefields of northern Europe to the dramatic technological developments achieved through the inter war period, and the parallel evolution of the airborne arms of the military forces of the world. By the time World War II broke out the airplane was a sophisticated machine cable of flying far and fast and necessitating a completely new level of anti-aircraft technology.
