World Wars I and II witnessed air power's development in the
crucible of hostilities. Ambiguous and competing air power schools
of thought, on occasion, resulted in the strategically questionable
employment of air power. The Allies' bombing of the cultural city
of Dresden in February 1945 serves as a vivid instance of the
results of these tensions. The firestorms that devastated Dresden
now inflame the contemporary air power debate: was the area bombing
of Dresden proportionate to the commensurate military gains?
Striking similarities exist between the emergence of cyber power
today, as a means of warfare in a new domain, and the development
of air power in the first half of the twentieth century. Reflection
upon air power's evolution has been employed as a guide for the
more efficient and effective development of cyber power. An
analysis of air power's formative years has highlighted many of the
pitfalls that lie hidden on cyber power's developmental path. An
awareness of these pitfalls will allow cyber power to develop
pre-emptive strategies on how best to avoid them; thus, debates
pertaining to a cyber Dresden will be able to take place before,
rather than after, the event. Learning from air power's early
experiences will help prevent cyber power from becoming mired in
the same pits that frustrated air power's development. In turn,
cyber advocates will be better able to concentrate their focus upon
developing a coherent theory of cyber power, uniquely tailored to
the challenges of their own domain.
