BOOK REVIEW: “In 1905, only two years after the Wright Brothers got their primitive flying maching off the ground, a young Army officer by the name of William Mitchell published a shocking, heretical article in Cavalry Journal. It predicted future wars would be waged ‘in the air, on the surface of the earth, and under the earth and water.’ Jeffers’ account of Billy Mitchell’s life is a story of unflinching honor and the courage to risk everything for one’s deeply held beliefs. Few books have told that story as well as this one.”
