To the best of my knowledge, airpower alone has never won anything.
But if you say so... 8-)
During Desert Storm air power ruled the battlefield and cleared the way for our armour-a modern German Blitzkrieg.
Basically we neutralized the Iraqi air force and then our air power smash their armour and bomb and strife troop emplacements 24/7..
During my 6 years in the Army I did a tour in 'Nam,a tour in Korea and my last overseas tour was in Germany-I was flown to all duty stations----usually in the middle of the night.
Hoo-ah. 8-)
