Throughout history, mastery of the skies has been one of mankind's greatest desires. From the first experiments with gliders to the most advanced air combat systems of the 21st century, military aviation has been a decisive factor in the technological, strategic and political development of the modern world.
This book is not simply a compilation of aircraft or battles; it is a profound and visually stunning tour of the pillars that support air power: history, technological innovation, tactics, and the bravery of those who man these machines. Past, present and future come together in a rigorous but accessible analysis that invites both professionals and aviation enthusiasts.
From the flight of the first biplane fighters to the latest generation of autonomous drones, we will explore how each advance has redefined the art of war and the very conception of airspace. We will dwell on key moments, understand the impact of strategic decisions, and learn about the aircraft that made history.
