Book Review: Moving Violations: Automobiles, Experts, and Regulations in the United States by Lee Vinsel

Abstract

photographs, and advertisement. He also focuses on the ironical result that the disarmament treaties in 1922 and 1930 expanded the Japanese Navy with its aircraft carrier strategy. However, he does not fully scrutinize the development of international civil aviation in the 1930s, nor the problem of the dual use character of aircrafts at that era. We can think of aviation as a field that was unlikely to become a target for disarmament due to its promising technology. Considering that the development of civil aviation during the Great Depression was a major reason why countries hesitated to restrict aviation technology in the Geneva disarmament conference. This is one precedent where advanced technology will not be disarmed. So civil aviation in the 1930s would not be overlooked politically, economically, militarily, or geopolitically. I would very much like to hear the ideas of Melzer, a former Lufthansa pilot, on this point.
