"In The Air Force Way of War, Brian D. Laslie examines the revolution in pilot instruction
that Red Flag brought about after Vietnam. The program's new instruction methods were
dubbed "realistic" because they prepared pilots for real-life situations better than
the simple cockpit simulations of the past, and students gained proficiency on primary
and secondary missions instead of superficially training for numerous possible scenarios.
In addition to discussing the program's methods, Laslie analyzes the way its graduates
actually functioned in combat during the 1980s and '90s in places such as Grenada,
Panama, Libya, and Iraq. Military historians have traditionally emphasized the primacy
of technological developments during this period and have overlooked the vital importance
of advances in training, but Laslie's unprecedented study of Red Flag addresses this
oversight through its examination of the seminal program."--Publisher's website www.kentuckypress.com
