AIR POWER MISAPPLICATION AND ITS EFFECTS AT STRATEGIC LEVEL
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2006, Vol 21, Issue 4
Abstract
As an outgrowth of the creative imagination of some visionary builders, airplane embodied many enthusiasts’ hopes, which deeply believed that they, finally, found out the key for rapidly gaining the victory in war. By overestimating the new weapon capability and also uncorrelated with real potential goals, several strategists and even military theoreticians ended in creating the impression that airplane was a sort of “oversold stock” as it could not meet the expectations during World War I. Another category of military experts, generally people with a limited creative imagination, exerted great efforts and succeeded, for a rather long period of time to create a false impression that air force was a kind of “long-range artillery” and it should, therefore, be particularly employed in land force support and not to accomplish missions aiming at strategic purposes.
