The Air Campaign

One of the first analyses of the pure art of planning the aerial dimension of war, The Air Campaign explores the complicated connection between air superiority and victory by focusing on the use of air forces at the operational level in a theater of war. The most compelling task for the theater commander, the author argues, is translating national war objectives into tactical plans at operational levels. He presents his case by drawing on fascinating historical examples, stressing that mastery of operational-level strategy can be the key to winning future wars. This book offers today's planners greater understanding of how to use air power against numerous enemy capabilities in a wide variety of air operations. The Air Campaign is published with the Air Force Association.
