Dave Deptula and Col (Ret.) John Warden—key actors that laid the foundation for the Desert Storm air campaign. Desert Storm marked a shift in the paradigm of warfare. For centuries, a strategy of attrition was the only path to victory.

This episode will discuss key events and highlight important lessons learned, as we hear firsthand from the airmen in the fight what really happened.
