Amedeo Mecozzi (January 17, 1892 – November 2, 1971) was an Italian fighter ace of World War I, a general of the Italian Regia Aeronautica and a military theorist credited as the founding father of the "Attack air force" doctrine, which made him a strong opponent to general Giulio Douhet's theories.
This was done in response to Giulio Douhet’s theories on aerial warfare that “the bombers will always get through”.
The heavy bombers involved in the Combined Bomber Offensive did not win the war alone, as Harris had argued they would.

Significant contributors to theorizing about air power have been Giulio Douhet, Billy Mitchell, John Boyd and John A. Warden III.
Prior theories of bombing were developed by Italian General Giulio Douhet, British Sir Hugh Trenchard and American Colonel Billy Mitchell, each of whom advocated bombing an enemy's population centers as a method of shortening wars and thus saving more lives than were taken.
