Return to Bibliography ListBasic Air Doctrine: Doctrine
concerned with the nature of air power, and with what can be, and
what cannot be, done with it.
Basic air doctrine deals with
the phenomenon of flight, with the new relationships that exist
as a result of hitherto unrealized speeds, range, mobility, and
flexibility, and their application to the principles of war, such
as those of mass, dispersion, and surprise, as well as to their
application to the principles of peace, such as those of friendly
association, distribution of economic wealth, and rendering of
service.
