	Sea-Based Airpower--The Decisive Factor in Expeditionary Operations? Norway 1940, Falkland Islands 1982 - Storming Media
		Abstract: This essay examines the British sea-based aviation in support of two modern amphibious campaigns: the British campaign in Norway in 1940 and the Falkland Islands War in 1982.
		When air superiority cannot be maintained over the fleet, as evidenced in Norway and the Falklands, Naval Forces become prey to land-based airpower.
		Power projection from the sea occurs as a result of maintaining local air superiority, not in spite of it.

		National elections are scheduled for this autumn in Norway; currently a fragile coalition of center-left parties leads in the polls.....but, as we all know, anything could happen, and there appear to be some, uh, rather deep divisions within the left in Norway.
		As for my "take" on the crime news, well, it appears Norway is not as "crime-free" as our mainstream news media likes to urge us it is; in fact, frankly speaking, it appears Norway is no better than, no worse than, the United States.

		The book opens with a brief review of British plans for mining the Leads and Admiral Raeder's plans for the Kriegsmarine, including an OB of German naval forces.
		As with the volume on Dunkirk, this study includes a fair amount of detail which is not mentioned in other accounts of the campaign, including the British official history volumes.
		Not a glossy pop history by any means, but definitely recommended to students of the Norwegian campaign and to those interested in the Royal Navy in particular or naval and amphibious operations in general.
