Aerial warfare has dominated war-making for over 100 years, and despite regular announcements of its demise, it shows no sign of becoming obsolete. Aerial Warfare: A Very Short Introduction looks at the history of aerial warfare, introducing the major battles, crises, and controversies where air power has taken centre stage, and the changes in technology and air power capabilities over time. Highlighting the role played by air power in the First and Second World Wars, it also sheds light on the lesser-known theatres where the roles of air forces have been clearly decisive in conflicts in Africa, South America, and Asia. It also considers whether there is a future for manned air power. |
