AWPD-42 to Instant Thunder: Consistent Evolutionary Thought or Revolutionary Change (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781249327349)

Major Cody analyzes the air war plans in World War II and the Persian Gulf War. His goal is to ascertain whether there is a continuity of thought reflected in American air planning over the years. He assesses Air War Plans Division-1/42 and Instant Thunder as to their importance to contemporary airpower theory. Major Cody concludes that there is a continuity of thought reflected in major air plans, particularly in the issues of strategic bombing, precision attack, and command and control.
