The Bomber Mafia: A Dream, a Temptation, and the Longest Night of the Second World War by Malcolm Gladwell
4.0
A quick, easy read that has you eagerly turning the pages. Lots of interesting information. For example, the B-29 was more expensive than the Manhattan Project. Norden bombsight was third.
Gladwell is a little too moralistic and preachy with his holding up the “moral” officers in the bomber mafia. Guys who continued to not get it done in terms of mission and goals. I loved Lemay and his doer style. He was a modern Sherman. Wage war ruthlessly to end it as soon as possible.
