FRANCE 1940: The first great clash of World War II airpower by James S. Corum

informative medium-paced

5.0

This book - amply replete with photos and 3D illustrations of various phases of the joint aerial and ground components of the Battle of France - provides a concise and comprehensive account of a decisive military campaign during the spring of 1940 in which the Germans effectively used the Luftwaffe as 'flying artillery' in support of its tank and infantry units to effect breakthroughs via the Ardennes (a forest the French thought would be impassible to armor) to the Channel Coast and later into the heart of France itself.
