¶ Anti-War pamphlet, written by a member of the Royal Air Force who participated in aerial attacks during the First World War, warning against the dangers of aerial warfare and how in any future conflicts aerial warfare will aim at the wholesale destruction of civilian populations - men, women and children - and of property. A very prophetic piece, considering the widespread destruction of both on civilian populations in the Second world War - The London Blitz, the firebombing of Dresden, etc. An amazing piece, a rare survival.
