AP 508(L) - Tactical Airpower in North Africa and Europe

OVERVIEW

Although many of the leading U.S and U.K. theorists of air warfare expected to conduct a strategic bombardment campaign, to make such a campaign possible, the Allied needed to establish air superiority. Airpower was also used in a tactical role, providing close air support to troops on the ground. Each of these missions proved both effective and important in the eventual Allied victory.

NO SOBs.
