Excerpt from Wings of War: An Account of the Important Contribution of the United States to Aircraft, Invention, Engineering, Development and Production During the World WarThe manuscript of this book was written in 1919. The numerous Congressional investigations of the management of the war which have taken place since the writing have revealed many shortcomings in both the army and navy that were concealed during the con¿ict period - and aircraft produc tion is no longer singled out for a monopoly of hos tile criticism and sweeping condemnation, as it was in the unhappy days when its managers were seek ing to accomplish the impossible. Time is a great adjuster of judgments as well as a healer of wounds, and it is the writer's belief that the ultimate ver dict of history will virtually coincide with the conclusion reached in the following pages that in stead of being, as was once universally believed, the outstanding industrial fiasco of America's part in the World War, the aircraft achievements de serve to rank with any of those of our second line of defense, which, taken as a whole, were highly creditable.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
