| وصف الكتاب | British Air Power demonstrates how the Royal Air Force sought to adapt in regard to the roles it could play and the conflicts in which it could be used, as well as the evolution of air power doctrine at a time of rapid changes in national politics and in the international arena. The development of new concepts and theories, the evaluation of operational experience, the political environment and budgetary cuts, and the role of academics and personalities in development of doctrine are thus all explored to show changes in strategic thinking regarding air power. Fedorchak further examines the influence of jointery - the process of co-operation between the army, navy and air force - on thinking, conceptualising, teaching and using air power in recent operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria. A contemporary complement to more historical studies, British Air Power provides a very detailed look at the development of air-land doctrine in the RAF since the turn of the century. |
| المراجعة التحريرية | Meticulously researched, trenchantly argued and nicely written, Fedorchak's book demonstrates that military culture and strategy shape and are shaped by doctrine. In the case of the RAF, this process has been based on history, but looks forward to future conflict. The move to incorporate airpower into joint warfare is now the crucial capstone to the doctrinal process. * Phillip Meilinger, Retired Colonel, USAF and Dean of the School of Advanced Airpower Studies, USA * This book at last does for the RAF what Bob Futrell's classic work Ideas, Concepts, Doctrine did for the USAF. It is a fascinating and invaluable analysis of how the RAF strove to come to grips intellectually with the fast-changing demands and challenges of the post-Cold War world. * Philip Sabin, Professor of Strategic Studies, King's College London, UK * This is an extremely well-researched book which sheds important new light on the evolution of Royal Air Force doctrine from its origins in the First World War through to the early twenty-first century. It will become essential reading for those interested in the Royal Air Force, air power doctrine or the evolution of military doctrine more generally. * Ian Speller, Senior Lecturer and Director of the Centre for Military History and Strategic Studies, Maynooth University, Ireland * |
