The Marine Aircraft Control Group supplied ground radar support for the control of Marine aircraft at airfields, and tactical control radar for all-weather precision bombing along the frontlines. Precision bombing was another term that took awhile to evolve. As a result, key decisions about the application of military force in most American wars in the air age have been shaped by an overestimation of airpower's effectiveness against military and industrial targets, and disappointing results have led repeatedly to the escalation of aerial operations against civilians-- confirming Douhet's theories and confounding America's precision bombing enthusiasts. |
