by John T. Smith
Category: History

..".begins with a short history of airpower theory, reviews air operations in Vietnam before 1972, then gives a month-by-month and sometimes day-by-day narrative of the raids. Smith uses the experiences of pilots and crews to convey the intensity of the raids and the air-to-air combat that occurred between US fighters and North Vietnamese MiGs....Smith rightly realizes that airpower, as a component of military power, is only one tool needed to solve political problems."--"Military Review."
