The third edition of the US
Air Force Air Power Yearbook
comes at a time when
readiness is at the forefront of

the concerns for USAF leaders.
It’s a word that has many
influencing factors, not least
manpower — the USAF says it
is short by nearly 2,000 pilots
— hardware, funding, the list
goes on.

One of the ways the USAF is looking
to retain and ‘absorb’ more pilots
is through OA-X or light attack.
This could see the USAF at long
last buying a fleet of low-cost, light
attack aircraft to operate in low
threat environments in support of
ground forces in the close air support
role.

In this 100-page 2018 yearbook
we also feature the B-1B Lancers of
Ellsworth AFB, the ‘High Rollers’ of
the Nevada Air National Guard and
their C-130 mountain flying training
school, a look at USAF contracted
Red Air plans, plus the F-35A
Lightning’s global presence — all of
this plus a full rundown of all USAF
aircraft types and units.
