Operation Desert Storm was primarily a sustained 43-day air campaign by the U.S. and its allies against Iraq between Jan. 17, 1991, and Feb. 28, 1991. It was the first large employment of U.S. air power since the Vietnam War, and by some measures, it was the most successful war fought by the U.S. in the 20th century. The main ground campaign occupied only the final 100 hours of the war. This report is a comprehensive evaluation of the use and effectiveness of the various aircraft, munitions, and other weapon systems used in this victorious air campaign.
