Skills that were well-honed during the Cold War have atrophied to levels that require dedicated focus to rebuild. Wildenberg’s work provides an historical review of how the United States Navy and Marine Corps built their electronic warfare capability in the years following the introduction of the electromagnetic spectrum to air operations. This book should serve as a roadmap for electronic warfare strategists and practitioners who are working to rebuild the capability across the services; it also fills a considerable historiographical gap and should be of interest to all airpower historians.” —Tyler Morton - Author,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eFrom Kites Cold War: The Evolution of Manned Airborne Reconnaissance\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Thomas Wildenberg’s\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eFighting in the Electromagnetic Spectrum\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a fascinating look at a much overlooked area.
