Chugalug, no I think we are in agreement on this one.

There was a time and a place for concentrating on fighters in that war but, in the Air Power article it suggests that they persisted too long without regard for the future.

Now you can argue that CAS persisted too long in safeguarding the future at the expense of the current.

However having got to where we are, with Tyhoo tranches one and two secure he has time to refocus on the current. Maybe history will show he was the master tactician after all.




maybe
