Strategic Air Warfare

An Interview with Generals Curtis E. LeMay, Leon W. Johnson, David A. Burchinal, and Jack J. Catton. In June, 1984 some thirty-five of the retired four-star generals of the USAF gathered in Washington D.C. Form that group, several agreed to participate in a group oral interview on the history of strategic air warfare. Strategic Air Warfare is part of a continuing series of historical volumes produced by the Office of Air Force History in direct support of Project Warrior. Since its beginnings, Project Warrior has captured the imagination of Air Force people around the world and reawakened a keener appreciation of its fundamental purpose as a service - to deter war, but to be prepared to fight and wind should deterrence fail.
