The first military campaign in history ever won by air power alone was Operation Desert Storm in Jan/Feb 1991.

Note: Desert Storm was neither a declared war nor a war, but strictly a military campaign (an operation designed and executed to achieve a sole military objective). Commemorative US Postal Stamps struck in after the campaign stated "Desert Shield/Desert Storm" on them; US Military medals issued during the operation stated "Southwest Asia." Only the media and wannabes called it the "Gulf War." Which causes confusion for students as there were more than one Gulf Wars...Iran-Iraq War 1980-1988, Desert Storm 1991, and Iraqi Freedom in 2003. This does not count the Iran rescue mission in 1977 nor the current Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.
