The Lion Killers: Billy Mitchell and the Birth of Strategic Bombing

The story of the birth of airpower and the people who fought for its existence.

His historic bombing trials and personal journey to show the full military potential of airpower would lead him into a national controversy and a pyrrhic outcome. Includes the controversy leading to America?s most infamous courts-martial.
