This book aims to explain air power to both military and civilian
audiences in an accessible manner, approaching the topic in a
balanced and systematic way. The past 100 years illustrates that
air power is an inevitable feature of any type of modern warfare.
It has a key role to play in any of the three main operational
environments: conventional (inter-state) wars, peace-support
operations, and counterinsurgencies. This book examines the
strengths and challenges of using air power in these situations,
and each type of operation is explained using modern and historical
examples, with an emphasis on the relevant lessons for the
contemporary and future use of air power. The book also looks into
the complexity of media coverage of air warfare and changes in the
public perception of air power in recent years. The specifics of
structuring national air forces is also discussed, along with the
future of air power based on current trends. One of the enduring
themes in the book is the necessity of inter-service and
cross-domain integration, emphasizing the increasingly important
role of cyber and space domains in the future of network-centric
warfare. This book will be essential reading for students of air
power and air warfare, and recommended reading for students of
international security, strategic studies, defence studies, and
foreign policy.
