Steve Blair,
Thanks for the references. I have read Gray's Airpower several times and as usual he is very insightful but I disagree on several points of his. I have not read the other reference so I will take a look.

Corum is something of an authority on Luftwaffe doctrine, and has also written a book specifically about airpower in small wars.
I actually found Gray's list of airpower strengths and weaknesses quite balanced and in line with history as opposed to theory (page 281 of that book).
