APA Media Page Update - Reading List
APA has posted links to some relevant items of background reading related to the current fighter debate:
- William S Cohen - Air Force Magazine - January 2000 - Cohen on Air Power [SecDef public statement describing planning for the replacement of the F-117A with the F-22A]
-
Dr Rebecca Grant -
IRIS Independent Research -
The Radar Game: Understanding Stealth and Aircraft Survivability [Highly Recommended - Refer Page 27]
- Matthew H. Molloy Lt Col, USAF, SCHOOL OF ADVANCED AIRPOWER STUDIES,
U.S. MILITARY AIRCRAFT FOR SALE: CRAFTING AN F-22 EXPORT POLICY
The Cohen statement is of particular interest since it shows that the replacement of the F-117A bomber with the F-22A has been planned for at least eight years. Given repeated claims by the Minister and senior Defence officials that the F-22 is not a good bomber, this presents a good contrast in viewpoint.
