Show Notes
In this episode, we follow how the Marine Corps went from doubting pilots to building one of the world's deadliest air-ground teams. Aviation started as a sideshow and something most Marines didn't take seriously. But by the 1930s, Marine pilots had revolutionized air tactics. Dive-bombing, close air support, and even aerial resupply all came from this period.
