Who was a key proponent of 'strategic bombing in aerial warfare' ?
Answer: A
The key proponent was Giulio Douhet.
The Italian general Giulio Douhet, in The Command of the Air (1921), argued that aircraft would decide future wars: an air force that won command of the air could bomb the enemy's cities, industry and population centres directly, breaking the will to fight without long land campaigns. He is regarded as the father of strategic bombing theory.
Liddell Hart is known for the indirect approach in land strategy, and Mao Zedong for guerrilla and protracted people's war. Since Douhet fits, 'None of the above' is wrong.
