A History of Air Warfare

摘要

Air power enthusiasts have at times acted like evangelist Christians who believe that Jesus will save everyone, if only everyone could 'see the light'. Many members of the ADF can get distracted by the technical details in some books written by air power's 'true-believers' and in the process find it difficult to see how the strengths and weaknesses of air power apply in their own particular situation. However, we can no longer leave the application of air power to the relatively small group of professionals within the RAAF and allied air forces, because the air dimension now impacts all aspects of the profession of arms, whatever the character of warfare or the level of conflict.
