This essay will restate the theoretical promises of airpower, provide a background to the crisis in Kosovo and explain that airpower was crucial but not singular in leading to the capitulation of Slobodan Milosevic, then President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. In this paper, the breaking of Milosevic’s will and the moment of his capitulation will be taken as the definition of success. As Operation Allied Force was an application of coercive airpower, this paper will address the efficacy of airpower in such a context of coercive diplomacy and not within the realm of conventional war.
