Biography
Italian military, a general and air force theorist. An artillery officer in the Italian army, he participated in research on the mechanization of armed forces and forecast air supremacy as early as 1909. Douhet was criticized by the high command for antiquated military concepts during WW I, resulting in a court marshal and prison in 1916. He was later vindicated by the disastrous Italian defeat the Fall of 1917 and placed as Aviation Chief in 1918, becoming a General in 1921. Author of "Command of the Air."
Douhet died 2/15/1930, Rome, Italy.
