What influences have shaped air power since human flight became a
reality more than a hundred years ago? "Global Air Power" provides
insight into the evolution of air power theory and practice by
examining the experience of six of the world s largest air forces
those of the United Kingdom, the United States, Israel, Russia,
India, and China and of representative smaller air forces in
Pacific Asia, Latin America, and continental Europe. The chapters,
written by highly regarded scholars and military leaders, explore
how various nations have integrated air power into their armed
forces and how they have applied air power in both regular and
irregular warfare and in peacetime operations. They cover the
organizational, professional, and doctrinal issues that air forces
confronted in the past, the lessons learned from victory and
defeat, and emerging challenges and opportunities.Further, "Global
Air Power" supplements the traditional military perspective with
examinations of the ideological, economic, and cultural factors
that give air forces their distinctive characters. Chapters show
how the interplay among these internal factors, together with
external challenges, determines the structure, role, and
effectiveness of air forces. Together, these chapters illuminate
universal trends as well as similarities and differences among the
world s air forces. Its combination of military history and
sociopolitical analysis makes "Global Air Power" especially
valuable to a broad range of historians, air power specialists, and
general readers interested in national defense and international
relations.
