Cold War at 30,000 Feet: The Anglo-American Fight for Aviation SupremacyHarvard University Press, 2009年6月30日 - 375 頁 In a gripping story of international power and deception, Engel reveals the "special relationship" between the United States and Great Britain. As allies, they fought Communism; as rivals, they clashed over which would lead the Cold War fight. In the quest for sovereignty and hegemony, Engel shows that one important key was airpower, which created jobs, forged ties with the developing world, and ensured military superiority, ultimately affecting forever the global balance of power. |
