Publisher Description: On January 17, 1991, airmen from all military services and 10 nations became the "thunder and lightning" of Operation Desert Storm, the multinational military offensive sanctioned by the United States to liberate Kuwait from the domination of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. What occurred is a classic in the decisive application of aerospace power. Desert Storm will continue to spawn numerous histories and analyses. Few, however, will be as focused and useful to airmen as this. |
