This study analyzes how sequential and cumulative aspects of air strategies interact to contribute to victory in war. The thesis uses as a point of departure the 1967 writing of Admiral J.C. Wylie, Military Strategy: A General Theory of Power Control. In this book Wylie describes two basic military strategies, sequential and cumulative. The sequential strategy consists of a series of visible, discrete steps, each dependent on the one that preceded it. A cumulative strategy is the less perceptive minute accumulation of little items piling one on top of the other until at some unknown point the mass of accumulated actions may be large enough to be critical. This study provides a preliminary analysis about the interaction of such aspects of air strategy by examining three historical campaigns: the Battle of Britain (from the German perspective), the Combined Bomber Offensive, and the Southwest Pacific Area campaign.
