It will then comment on what landpower is best suited to do, as well as what it is less suited to accomplish. Finally, it will conclude with how the U.S. Army and Marines organized to employ landpower to seize Okinawa during World War II (WWII), and what influence that experience has on how they organize and fight today.

Early on in the war, still before the production of "good" airplanes, pilots either flew larger bombing aircraft like the Avro or BE(Bleroit experimental), or early single seaters such as the Thomas-morse or a Morane Saulnier.
