Airpower in Small Wars: Fighting Insurgents and Terrorists (Modern War Studies)

By Wray R. Johnson and James S. Corum

Book Overview

The use of airpower in wartime calls to mind the massive bombings of World War II, but aeroplanes have long been instrumental in small wars as well. Ever since its use by the French to put down rebellious Moroccan tribes in 1913, air power has been employed to fight in limited but often lengthy small conflicts around the globe.
