Includes two new chapters! "One of the more interesting and better books on military aviation to appear in the last few years."- Journal of Military History Since the publication of the first edition of Why Air Forces Fail, the debate over airpower's role in military operations has only intensified.

Complemented by reading lists and suggestions for further research, this seminal study with two new chapters provides an essential and detailed analysis of defeat.
