Sorry to read Pierre Sprey no longer with us. He had a second career as founder of Mapleshade Audio/Mapleshade Records, still extant, which produced high quality, 'minimalist' recordings and audio equipment. I was a customer.
The business grew out of a hobby, one shared by other defense sector figures like Bob Dilger who ran Maplenoll, who built a turntable.
Andrew Cordesman reviewed high end equipment for Audio magazine (long defunct) for many years.
I was indoctrinated to despise the "bomber mafia" growing up by my father, Lt Cmdr USNR ONI. Seems he had a point!
Great article on hard headedness and short sightedness. People die as a result.

Failed to see the future right in front of them!
Thanks for mentioning Tami Davis Biddle's book. It should be required reading for anyone interested in the bombing campaign.
