The Rise of Air Mobility and Its Generals

By Laura L. Lenderman

Book Overview

Mobility forces dominate air operations in the post-Cold War era, at least statistically. Colonel Lenderman examines this trend and finds that as the United States moved from a strategy of containment toward engagement throughout the world, a corresponding shift occurred-away from contingencies demanding heavy concentrations of fighter and bomber planes and toward myriad, complex operations demanding mobility aircraft. She also shows that as the number and importance of mobility-centric operations increased, the number of generals with mobility expertise also increased, especially at the most senior levels of the Air Force.
