Airpower in Literature: Interrogating the Clean War, 1915-2015 offers a fresh perspective on the first century of airpower by examining the paradoxical representation of aerial warfare in literature. Kimberly Dougherty explores the notion of a clean air war, which promises a "cleaner" method of waging war, but has allowed extensive airstrikes on cities and civilians. The author argues that the air war is perceived as clean when we see neither the aviator nor the targeted populations in the bombing dynamic. Through analysis of fiction, poetry, drama, and journalism, the author identifies counternarratives that make visible both aviators and bombed societies, and present aerial warfare that is not clean, but messy, prolonged, and imprecise. This exploration encourages readers and writers to approach the next century of airpower with greater wisdom and empathy.
