1. leden 1923 – 10. únor 2004
Edward Jablonski byl autorem několika biografií amerických kulturních osobností, včetně hudebních skladatelů a textařů, a také knih o historii letectví. Jeho zájem o letectví, který se prohloubil během jeho služby ve druhé světové válce, se projevil v jeho fascinaci vojenskými dějinami a potenciálem letectví pro válečnictví. Jablonski také rozvinul celoživotní přátelství s textařem Irou Gershwinem, které inspirovalo jeho rané práce. Jeho rozsáhlá freelancerská kariéra zahrnovala psaní článků, hudebních recenzí a poznámek k albu, s cílem dokončit rozsáhlou historii americké populární hudby.

Terror From The Sky is an account of the revolutionary tactics that aviation introduced in the early years of the the blitzkrieg with which Hitler's Stukas defeated most of Europe, and the terror-bombing with which the Luftwaffe attempted to beat Britain into submission. Yet it is also made up of fascinating personal stories of individual airmen and their war. The remarkable story of these critical struggles and courageous airmen is accompanied by over 200 action photographs - many never before published - which the author has gathered from official archives of the warring powers as well as from private collections and personal albums. Together narrative and photographs recreate the dramatic, moving, and often tragic opening round of the first truly world-wide war of the skies.
