As allies, they fought Communism; as rivals, they clashed over which would lead the Cold War fight. In the quest for sovereignty and hegemony, Engel shows that one important key was airpower, which created jobs, forged ties with the developing world, and ensured military superiority, ultimately affecting forever the global balance of power. 517 3 $aCold war at thirty thousand feet 606 $aTechnology and international relations$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAeronautics$xTechnological innovations$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAircraft industry$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAircraft industry$xPolitical aspects$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCold War 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign economic relations$zCommunist countries 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign economic relations$zCommunist countries 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1945-1989 615 0$aTechnology and international relations$xHistory 615 0$aAeronautics$xTechnological innovations$xHistory 615 0$aAircraft industry$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aAircraft industry$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aCold War. 676 $a338.4/762913340973 686 $a327.73041 ENG 700 $aEngel$b Jeffrey A$01007274 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820558403321 996 $aCold War at 30,000 feet$92320213 997 $aUNINA
