Abstract The Bomber Alafia tells the story of first-generation combat pilots who saw the potential of strategic bombing to change the course of warfare. The combination of Hansell s strategic doctrine of airpower with Norden's technological innovation leads Gladwell to present the possibility of making warfare more humane, less destructive, and more limited than that experienced in World War I. Gladwell quickly moves the story of the Bomber Mafia through the "fog of war" that inevitably occurs. [...]an alternative approach to the real value of The Bomber Alafia lies in analyzing how innovatton in warfare can lead to horrific results.
