	Information warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Information warfare can take countless forms: trains and planes can be misrouted and caused to collide, stock exchanges can be sabotaged by electronic "sniffers" which disrupt international fund-transfer networks, and the signals of television and radio stations can be jammed and taken over and used for a misinformation campaign.
		Information warfare may be used as a means to conduct strategic attack and interdiction, for example, just as air warfare may be used to conduct strategic attack and interdiction.
		Air warfare is a means, defined by the environment, to execute those missions.

	Aerial warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aerial warfare is the use of aircraft and other flying machines for the purposes of warfare.
		Germany was banned from possessing a significant air force by the terms of the WWI armistice.
		The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 forced Western air forces to undergo a shift from the massive numbers felt to be necessary during the Cold War to smaller numbers of multi-role aircraft.

	Air Warfare
		Where air superiority had become a prerequisite for carrying out land and sea operations in the Second World War, the continuing upward trend in development had now reached the point where air superiority was the prerequisite for winning the war.
		The decisiveness of the air operations from the point of the initiative as a whole and the final result of the campaign was proved with exceptional clarity.
		Many of the countries belonging to the coalition were ones that had witnessed the rise of air power from the early days, and neither the manner of operation nor the outcome was any surprise for their leaders, in fact it was to be anticipated on the basis of the pre-war simulations and exercises.

	The Law of Air Warfare
		In other words, the rules of war on land would apply to air warfare when it was being waged over land or in support of ground forces, and the rules of war at sea would apply when the air force was fighting over the sea or in support of the navy.
		In principle, it could be said that air warfare is a set of offensive and defensive aerial operations carried out using the air force with the intention of imposing one’s will on the adversary by achieving a sufficient degree of aerial superiority.
		A further requirement that must be met by the aforementioned areas if air warfare is to be legal is that they must not belong to neutral countries or be within their territorial waters, and they must not include zones accorded special status.

	GI -- World War II Commemoration
		Although the Luftwaffe was not designed for strategic air warfare, Adolf HITLER elected to commit it to the Battle of Britain on Aug. 8, 1940.
		The Nazi plan was to gain air superiority by destroying the RAF Fighter Command and to employ the German bomber force to soften British coastal defenses, transportation facilities, and population centers in preparation for a combined sea and airborne invasion of southern and southeastern England.
		In operations that proceeded according to schedule, Luftwaffe air transport machinery worked well, as was demonstrated in the employment of air-dropped and air-landed troops in Norway and the Netherlands in 1940 and in the capture of Crete in the spring of 1941.

	The Evolution of Air Warfare
		The first significant application of air power was the balloon, which was used for reconnaissance in the ancient quest for the high ground.
		The war ended before air power could be decisively proven in tactical situations, but the air had become an area of battle no less than the ground and the sea.
		The idea of air supremacy and strategic bombing as decisive factors in warfare had been born and would be developed in the postwar years by pioneers in several countries, notably in the United States by the Army Air Corps leaders.

		Suppression of an opponents CW capability will in most air campaigns be a priority in the opening phases of the strategic air attack campaign, and confirmation of target destruction by detection of agent type and concentration could be particularly valuable when assigning priority to use of strategic air assets.
		An issue which may become important, in the context of the air land battle, is the proliferation of stealth technology.
