The visionary who came up with the idea of massive aerial bombing was Giulio Douhet. The vision was flawed; he got about 90% of it wrong.

But old ideas die hard, unfortunately.

Good diary and Bob's before.

Re: Remember Guernica (4.00 / 4)

A strange read, your link. Old ideas die hard, indeed, even if the author sees half of that 90%. And he managed to write about Douhet without mentioning once that he joined the fascists.
