FROM: THE LIEFE AND TIMES OF CURTIS LE MAY….BY WARREN KOZAK   ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS ON WORLD WAR 11 I EVER READ…..RSK

Gen. Curtis LeMay, in a 1945 speech to the Ohio Society, quoted in Warren Kozak’s 2011 biography, “LeMay”:

“It is beyond my powers of description to picture to you the difference between the bomb-blackened ruins and the desolation of our enemy’s cities and the peaceful Ohio cities and landscape, untouched and unmarred by war. I can only say to you, if you love America, do everything you can do to make sure that what happened in Germany and Japan will never happen to our country. Our preparedness for war should be the measure of our desire for peace. The last war was started by air power and finished by [air power]. America, if attacked, must be able to take the initiative immediately.”
