The aim of this paper is to highlight examples of attacks upon airbases by both air and land forces to demonstrate the effect that these attacks have had upon the conflicts in which they were a part. It considers which attack succeeded, which attacks failed and why. This particular operation is important, given the regularity by which attacks on airbases have been used to open military campaigns, even in peacetime.
