Gray and strategy (IV): The airpower view of the world is essentially nonsense

It is rare to see a careful strategic writer denounce a
point of view so absolutely: "What is the strategic worldview of the air
person? In effect, he or she sees the world as akin to a dartboard ... Needless to say, perhaps, such a view is nonsense. But, it has always lurked
more or less explicitly in the belief structure of true believers in victory
through air power." (P. 113)

Meanwhile, the Air Force practiced
bombing Santa Claus.
