Among the greatest developments in conventional war since 1914 has been the rise of air/land power – the interaction between air forces and armies in military operations. This book examines the forging of an air support system that was used with success for the remainder of the war, the principles of which have applied ever since.

BRAD W. GLADMAN has a background in aviation and continues to study the history of air power and intelligence, as well as the history of Canada-US defence relations. After completing his PhD in history at University College London, UK, he taught history at the University of Calgary. Dr. Gladman currently works as a strategic analyst for the Canadian Department of National Defence.
