Article about the French Air Force

Lets stop talking about politics that has nothing to with the subject.

Point made, but how about politics that has everything to do with the subject ..... since Post 1 (attachment) of this thread is essentially political in scope ..?

May I draw attention to the book "The Forgotten Air Force: French Air Doctrine in the 1930s" by Anthony Christopher Cain and the chapter by the same author in "Why Air Forces Fail: The Anatomy of Defeat" edited by Robin Higham and Stephen J. Harris. This last is largely available via Google books at Why Air Forces Fail: The Anatomy of Defeat - Google Books.
