This book introduces a much-needed theory of tactical air power to
explain air power effectiveness in modern warfare with a particular
focus on the Vietnam War as the first and largest modern air war.
Phil Haun shows how in the Rolling Thunder, Commando Hunt, and
Linebacker air campaigns, independently air power repeatedly failed
to achieve US military and political objectives. In contrast, air
forces in combined arms operations succeeded more often than not.
In addition to predicting how armies will react to a lethal air
threat, he identifies operational factors of air superiority,
air-to-ground capabilities, and friendly ground force capabilities,
along with environmental factors of weather, lighting, geography
and terrain, and cover and concealment in order to explain air
power effectiveness. The book concludes with analysis of modern air
warfare since Vietnam along with an assessment of tactical air
power relevance now and for the future.
