Description: The NATO-led Operation Allied Force was fought in 1999 to stop Serb atrocities against ethnic Albanians in Kosovo. This war, as noted by the distinguished military historian John Keegan, ₃marked a real turning point ... and proved that a war can be won by airpower alone.₄ Colonels Haave and Haun have organized firsthand accounts of some of the people who provided that airpower--the members of the 40th Expeditionary Operations Group. Their descriptions--a new wingman₂s first combat sortie, a support officer's view of a fighter squadron relocation during combat, and a Sandy₂s leadership in finding and rescuing a downed F-117 pilot--provide the reader with a legitimate insight into an air war at the tactical level and the airpower that helped convince the Serbian president, Slobodan Milosevic, to capitulate.
