Help From Above: Air Force Close Air Support of the Army, 1946-1973, by John Schlight
                The issue of close air support by the USAF in support of, primarily, the US Army has been fractious for years. Air commanders have clashed with ground leaders over the proper use of aircraft in support of ground operations. Close air support remains a critical mission today and the lessons of yesterday should not be ignored.
