ARANGO-CALDERON, Ingrid Yuliana e PEDRAZA-MARINO, Carolina. Airpower and the concept of centers of gravity: The Battle of Britain as a case study. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.31, pp.483-494. Epub 05-Dez-2020. ISSN 1900-6586. https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.637.
The Battle of Britain is one of the most important military events of the Second World War. Different approaches have been used to study it and understand the rationale behind Britain's and Nazi Germany's strategy. However, the use of warfare concepts, such as centers of gravity and its contemporary meaning, to scrutinize the planning and prosecution of the battle have not been as prolific. This article aims to contribute to the debate by maintaining that the concept of Centers of Gravity provides an advantageous framework that facilitates the understanding of the mindset and development of the battle in terms of critical capabilities, requirements, and vulnerabilities required to win.
