  Presents a comprehensive study of the efforts of post-war air power advocates to harness popular culture in support of their agenda. This title chronicles the shift away from the heroic, patriotic posture of the years just after WW II, toward the threatening, even bizarre imagery of books and movies like Catch-22, On the Beach, and Dr Strangelove.
