Authored by Wells, Mark K.
Undertaking a dissertation and then a book on the subject of air crew
courage in two airforces is itself an act of courage. The topic must ever
be a subjective one shrouded in a whole host of imponderables. It is one
also with a heavy burden of emotion arising from the deepest feelings of
the survivors - and one with potential traps of national and service
pride...But in the end Col. Mark Wells gets it right...Courage and Air
Warfare is well written and well researched. It is relevant to the labours
of readers in many different career fields - but especially to those who
would aspire to the command of flying units. Give it a very high place on
your reading list. Dr David Mets, Maxwell AFB, Alabama, Airpower Journal
"Buy the book if you have any interest, or even a disinterested need to
know, about medical support to aviators in combat, about how national and
cultural expectations can influence military personnel policies in such
remarkably different ways, or about the difficulties in defining the ideal
results against which to measure actual combat performance." David R Jones,
MD, MPH - Aviation, Space and Enviromental Medicine
Journal of Military History, Vol 60, No 4
"This is a remarkably well-documented study."
Bulletin of the History of Medicine
"Wells has made an outstanding contribution to the understanding of war and
its effect on aircrews. Writing in an area which has been little documented
for the broad readership, including historians and medical scientists, he
has presented in a well-written and systematic volume information from
World War II that has not previously been pulled together in one place.
