How to win a war by Phillips Payson O'Brien (Lesson 3)

Air Power in World War II and the Russo-Ukraine War
This lecture will focus specifically on the question of air power and how it operated in World War II and what we are seeing in Ukraine today. Airpower was the most expensive and complex area of production and engagement between 1939-1945, and influenced everything from the homefront to far behind the battlefield. The indications are that airpower, while the technology is changing, is doing something very similar in Ukraine, and this lecture will explore how that seems to be working.
