For some time, I have been working on a project, which may result in some sort of published work. Without boring you with detail:-
Subject: Victory in Air Warfare
Object: To examine what factors, historically and contemporary, have determined victory in the air warfare.
This is a fairly well covered subject, but most previous work has just been a re-stating of the accepted wisdom, so I've set out to rock a few boats.
Nowhere in the historical and operational record, can I find any conflict where aircraft manoeuvrability, (or even performance) has been a significant deciding factor in victory.
Pilot training yes. Weapons yes. Tactics yes Numbers yes. Logistics yes. Technology yes.
If anyone has any data to show the opposite, please contact me.
And yes, I am in contact with the Air Historical Branch, and a heap of other luminaries.
