註釋"The authors have provided an interesting and often eye-opening read. They argue how an effective maritime-deterrence strategy is critically supported by enhanced strategic naval air power... the points they make are worth the read and provide a starting point for discussions of how best to employ strategic air power." - The Journal of the Air Force Historical Foundation

In this book, the history and utility of land- and carrier-based strategic airpower is brought to life by the gallant exploits and photographs of B-17 aircraft "Quittin' Time" and of its Navigator, "Fred" Julian in the Second World War, and by the unforgiving and unswerving dedication of "Sharkey" Ward and his Sea Harrier team in the Falklands war.

The overarching message is that the strategic airpower lessons of the past eight decades underpin the urgent need for the UK government to invest more wisely in its Fleet so that the latter may work effectively in conjunction with the US Navy on the global mission to deter those that would harm us, and to maintain the freedom of passage of all shipping throughout the global commons.

The authors show how a maritime deterrence strategy in a challenging world is critically underpinned by strategic air power at sea and on land.
