Rickenbacker predicts swift blowup of Italy in war
Captain Edward V. Rickenbacker, touring war fronts, said Germany could be knocked out by a massive bombing surge and Italy might blow up soon. He warned the winter could bring a global shock, but doubted Germany would collapse quickly and Japan would require another year of fighting. He urged bombing to break Germany from within and stressed air superiority across theaters as Stalin’s presence in strategy huddles remained uncertain. He dismissed a presidential run.
