The Air Power Manual

This sixth edition of The Air Power Manual consolidates lessons into the existing body of knowledge of air power. It also elaborates on the national security context in which Australian air power is generated, employed and sustained, recognising that as airmen we need to develop a deep and sophisticated understanding of the context in which we operate, the purposes for which air power is employed, and the many factors that shape air power within the Australian Defence Force.
