It was, in fact,   the superior use of their air force that gave the Germans the decisive margin   of victory and ensured the failure of the Allied counter-offensive in central   Norway in April and May 1940.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll   aspects of air power were employed in Norway, from long-range bombing and   reconnaissance to air transport, with the Luftwaffe’s ability to transport   large numbers of troops and supply ground forces over great distances being   particularly important. Norway was the first campaign in history in which key   targets were seized by airborne forces, and the first in which air   superiority was able to overcome the overwhelming naval superiority of an   enemy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eResearched from primary sources, this engaging history by air power expert Dr James Corum skilfully draws out where and why air power made the difference in Norway, and analyses the campaign’s influence on the coming months and years of World War II.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40944534454369,"sku":"9781472847454","price":12.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_28620845.jpg?v=1722759727","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781472847454-norway-1940","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
