The Anti-Fascist Air War
“Any distinction between belligerents and non-belligerents is no longer admissible today in fact or theory. Not in theory, because when nations are at war, everyone takes part in it: the soldier carrying his gun, the woman loading shells in a factory, the farmer growing wheat, the scientist experimenting in his laboratory. Not in fact, because nowadays the offensive may reach anyone; and now it begins to appear that the safest place may be the trenches.
A heroic people can endure the most frightful offensives as long as there is hope that they may come to an end, but when the aerial war has been lost there is no hope of ending the conflict. A people who were bombed today as they were bombed yesterday, who know they will be bombed again tomorrow and see no end to their martyrdom, are bound to call for peace at length.” – Giulio Douhet, The Command of the Air.
