Conflict in the Balkans 1991 2000

Exposing the true scale and significance of the deployment of air power in the Balkans

This book details the activities of NATO and UN aircraft as well as local pilots in the former Yugoslavia.

From bombing by B-2 stealth bombers to air-to-air combat; from moving ground troops by helicopter to food-bombing for refugees, air power played a vital role in Europe's Vietnam, and there is little sign that the fires of conflict are being extinguished. As this book discusses alongside detailed illustrations, debate amongst air power practitioners has yielded little agreement as to the degree of damage inflicted on the Yugoslav 3rd Army in Kosovo, and the Balkans continue to be a region of conflict and ethnic hatred.
