Lieut. Colonel Harry Borowski states that while historians generally have credited America's strategic air arm with singlehandedly holding the Soviets at bay during the late 1940s, they were mistaken because at the time that air arm was incapable of carrying nuclear weapons to Soviet soil. ... Making excellent use of National Archives and Strategic Air Command historical documents as well as oral history material covering the period, Lieut. Colonel Borowski provides an interesting look at the development of US atomic development between 1945 and 1950.-Naval War College Review
