i moved forward to the tunisian campaign and three sort of things that i want to highlight here. first off, it's an operational and tactical campaign even though we have heavy bomber assets and we'll ship more heavy bomber groups down to 12th air force in north africa, but it's a tactical, as it would have been called then or today more of an operational campaign and these heavy bombers are working over ports and they're working over airfields and not present on the front lines and that's one of the things and one of the spears that the air force takes in this is that the ground forces don't see them very often and so become in some cases unaware of the work they're doing behind the lines to restrict the flow in. air superiority is going to be critical and it's going to be difficult to achieve during this time period, and i have a few slides that will show you hopefully why that was. this was one of the last times where the ground forces would have a seriously contested air environment and won't operate with the air supremacy that they've had almost unbroken since this time. >> a

i moved to the tunisian campaign. three things i want to highlight here. it is an operational and tactical campaign. even though we have heavy bomber assets and we will shift bomber , it is aom the u.k. tactical that would've been called that or more of an operational campaign. these heavy bombers are working over a and are not present on the front lines. the ground forces do not see them very often. they become unaware of the work they are doing behind the lines to restrict the flow in. air superiority is going to be critical and difficult to achieve. i will show you hopefully why that was. this is one of the last times where the ground forces are going to have a seriously contested environment. the big part is the interdiction campaign. the fact that you restrict the flow of resources into north africa. if you do not have people willing to a trite the forces in the ground, you're not going to win. reallyan and rommel stick the supply lines across the mediterranean. the allied ability to interdict that, the raf has a significant role in this. outsidegely
