0 the force of a country's military aircraft and the ability of these aircraft to be used for defending the country and attacking other countries --
I should like, in conclusion, to make one or two brief remarks with regard to the whole question of air power.
In a debate such as this, which deals with the significance of air power, it is correct to do so.
Moreover, the flexibility of air power enables the forces in one theatre to be reinforced from another very quickly if required.
After all, we have the punitive air power to support such an initiative.
The use of air power alone hardly ever works.
The belief that air power alone can achieve objectives on the ground has too often proved to be wrong.
We should also wonder whether there is validity in the new doctrine that decisive military results can be achieved by air power alone.
We have also an enormous expansion of air power.
