'The Royal Air Force has been in the vanguard of thinking on Air Power since the publication of its first statement on doctrine in 1928. Today the generation of Air Power must take into account both 'jointery' and multinational operations - themes that are reflected in the focus of this document and its title. Thus, the third edition of British Air Power Doctrine stresses the need for our Armed Forces to be trained and ready to meet an enormous variety of tasks which in turn requires our doctrine to be relevant, dynamic and flexible.
'With the certainties of the Cold War now a fading memory, subsequent conflicts in the Gulf and the Balkans have reminded us that the world remains a violent, dangerous and unpredictable place. But, as a singular certainty for the future, we may rest assured that Air Power, in all or any of its many guises, will continue to play a full part in the resolution of crises at any level of conflict. ...'
