Virtual Date with History: Desert Storm Air War
Historian Jim Corrigan looks back at the unprecedented air war of Operation Desert Storm. For five weeks, the skies over Iraq and Kuwait were filled with a dizzying array of new weapons, such as Tomahawk and Hellfire missiles, stealth aircraft, and laser-guided smart bombs. The vast campaign of more than 100,000 sorties presented flight crews with many harrowing moments, which Jim has recounted in his book Desert Storm Air War: The Aerial Campaign Against Saddam’s Iraq in the 1991 Gulf War (Stackpole Books, 2017).
