9887. AIR POWER COULD HAVE WON THE CIVIL WAR

AIR POWER COULD HAVE 
WON THE CIVIL WAR
The largest force amassed to man, at 
that time, was something like 60,000 
men in one place, and then three hours 
later, 24,000. So, where'd they all go?
Like that old joke about the plane that
crashes on the border of Canada and the
US, where do they bury the survivors?
Hardy-har-har. Had we just that one
breakthrough early, we could have smitten
those Yanks; they'd have taken it in the
teeth, losing their big-deal harbors and
us killing all those people. Forget the
survivors, where would they
bury the dead?
