000594-Aerospace Power-The Case for Indivisible Application 101 Pages 1986 THIS DOCUMENT IS FURNISHED ON CDROM FORMAT Gordon McCormick recently observed that "history suggests that the principal catalyst of doctrinal change is military disaster." Unfortunately, even though there are examples to the contrary, McCormick's association of doctrine and calamity is essentially valid. A detailed historical analysis of this premise would be beyond the scope of this volume; others have dealt with this subject very well.' However, some glaring examples come immediately to mind: the slaughter in the mire of World War I trenches caused to a major extent by a religious adherence by both sides to the spirit of the offense; the virtual strangulation of the British Isles during the first years of World War II for lack of antisubmarine warfare training and equipment even though the effectiveness of the submarine was proven during the previous war; and, of course, the prohibitive losses suffered by US bombers early in the European "strategic" air war due to Air Corps insistence on unescorted bomber penetrations (as compared to their splendid success after escorts were provided) .
