Kick the Tires and Light the Fires

“Kick the tires and light the fires”: this popular, lighthearted phrase from a generation ago captures the fun of Air Force flying and anticipates the roar of engines and the surge of aircraft taking off for a challenging mission.

This book serves as an introduction to American airpower studies and a source for exploring the foundations of today’s United States Air Force. It seeks to build identity through an overview of Air Force heritage and an explanation of the concepts behind current theory and doctrine.
