Review Quotes: "Dick Hallion, a masterful chronicler of aviation history, demonstrates once again both the agility of his pen as well as the depth and breadth of his knowledge of military aviation and operations. In this updated reprint of "Strike from the Sky," Hallion traces the early history of air-ground cooperation in wars both small and large. This splendid book offers valuable insights relevant for military operators, defense policy analysts and academics. It deserves to be on the shelf of every serious student of air-ground operations."-- Alan J. Vick, Ph.D., Senior Political Scientist, The RAND Corporation
