... that the first significant show of airpower in an insurgency campaign is detailed in Anne Baker's book on the first Kabul airlift? Source: the first real example of airpower providing critical mobility in an insurgency campaign came in 1929, with the evacuation of British subjects from Kabul.... for full details see Anne Baker Wings over Kabul.[1]

Overall: I moved cleanup details to talk page as not really cleanup but suggestions for expansion. Have never been involved with book article before but I assume synopsis does not need citing. Chidgk1 (talk) 16:51, 21 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Moved here from top of article as not really cleanup in my opinion - also footnotes already mentioned Chidgk1 (talk) 16:34, 21 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: Wasn't there a reprint? Are there any footnotes? The History.net article should be incorporated into the body (its photos are good and may be useable). Please help improve this article if you can.
