Air power for warfighting is a story that's been told many times
Air power for peacekeeping and UN enforcement is a story that desperately needs to be told
For the first-time
This volume covers the fascinating range of aerial peace functions
In rich detail it describes: aircraft transporting vital supplies to UN peacekeepers and massive amounts of humanitarian aid to war-affected populations
Aircraft serving as the 'eyes in sky' to keep watch for the world organization
And combat aircraft enforcing the peace
Rich poignant case studies illuminate the past and present use of UN air power
Pointing the way for the future
This book impressively fills the large gap in the current literature on peace operations
