As part of my continuing research into the history of writing about air power and air warfare, I have started to collate some data on PhD theses published over time, i.e., who wrote them, who supervised them, whether they were published, gender, etc. #airpowerhistory
We publish review articles that examine the top ten books that have influenced writers on air power. To learn how to contribute to 'From Balloons to Drones,' visit our submissions page. balloonstodrones.com/submiss… #plsRT – at Brisbane, Queensland

It looks like a plane book, but as @rorysutherland's blurb notes, it's a behavioural page-turner too. 1/4
