The Bomber Mafia: A Tale of Innovation and Obsession
What if the dream of ending war humanely became the blueprint for its most devastating chapter?

As technology and ideology clash, and firestorms erase the line between strategy and atrocity, one haunting question lingers: Can good intentions survive the inferno… or do they burn brightest just before they consume us?
