Interesting. Although I can't imagine that the leadership wouldn't have come up with the armor flanking attack in Gulf War I without his advice. MacArthur did it twice in Korea, and it was a staple back in the time of the Romans and the Greeks. I'm not a military strategist, but it was obvious to me that that was what they would do.

Listen to the
Booknotes Interview of author Robert Coram who wrote,
Boyd: The Fighter Pilot Who Changed the Art of War.

Ronald Reagan always stated "It does not matter who gets credit for an accomplishmnet as long as it was a worthwhele accomplishment" If we all stopped worying about credit we would get more done. It woul seem that Mr. Boyd was a great folower of this principle. Untill now I've never herd of him. Many great men have gone to their grave, only to get recognised for their greatness afterwards.
