Discussion
Who was a key proponent of strategic bombing in aerial warfare ?
Answer: A
The key proponent of strategic bombing was Giulio Douhet (printed 'Giulin Doh Douhet').
Douhet, an Italian general, argued in The Command of the Air (1921) that air power would decide future wars: an air force that won command of the air could bomb the enemy's cities and industry, break civilian morale and win without a long land war. He is regarded as the founding theorist of strategic bombing.
Basil Liddell Hart (printed 'Liddle Hart') is known for the indirect approach in land strategy, and Mao Zedong for the theory of protracted guerrilla warfare. With Douhet listed, 'None of the above' is wrong.
