XX century but it is also a useful tool to better understand the developments of current<br />

strategic scenarios.<br />

The presentation by General Vincenzo Camporini, Chief of Defence Staff in the<br />

period when CISM was tasked with developing this project, adds further value to this<br />

volume, whose scientific content is also corroborated by the introduction of Professor<br />

Massimo de Leonardis, ICMH Vice President and CISM Secretary General. The<br />

beautiful book jacket is a reproduction of the painting by A.G. Ambrosi “Guerra nel<br />

Cielo” (War in the sky), painted in 1942 and kept in the Air Force Museum “Gianni<br />

Caproni”, Trento. In sum, this volume is a valid example of an effective international<br />

cooperation, at a joint and inter-academic level, <strong>for</strong> the production of a work on such<br />

an important subject as air power.
