(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
During military operations to have air superiority, means having sufficient control of the air to make air attacks on the enemy without serious opposition and to be free from the danger of significant enemy air incursions.
As air power has become an increasingly powerful element of military campaigns, air superiority has increasingly been viewed by military planners as a necessity.
