Editing Giulio Douhet (section)

=== Critical reception ===
Though the initial response to ''The Command of the Air'' was muted, the second edition generated attacks from his military peers, particularly those in the navy and army. Douhet's was an apocalyptic vision that gripped the popular imagination. His theories were unproven for another 20 years, when it was found that he had under-estimated the resources needed for successful strategic bombing. In "{{lang|it|Rivista Aeronautica}}" in July 1928, he wrote that he believed that 300 tons of bombs over the most important cities would end a war in less than a month.<ref>{{citation |last=Johansson |first=Alf W. |title=Europas krig |year=1991 |language= Swedish |location=Stockholm |publisher=Tidens Förlag |isbn= 91-550-3818-2 |page= 281}}</ref>
