Airbase operability: a study in airbase survivability and post-attack recovery
SIDOTI Sal
Airbase operability: a study in airbase survivability and post-attack recovery - Canberra, Act,Australia: Air Power Studies Centre, 2000 - 342p.
One of the fundamental weaknesses of airpower is its reliance on fixed airbases. These have been a target since WWI because it became readily apparent to early practitioners that it was easier to destroy the enemy's air force on the ground than in the air. Considers the history of attacks on airbases, modern threats, and offers a broad range of options for increasing the survivability of air power's most vulnerable element.
