This paper looks in retrospect at how the theory of struggle for superiority in the air evolved, and highlights the contribution of Giulio Douhet, founder of the modern air warfare teaching, to the development of this theory. It lists the main factors that determine the substance of struggle for superiority in the air, and forecasts the long-term development of the struggle for superiority in aerospace. It also formulates the chief conditions of attaining strategic superiority in the air and suggests indices and criteria for estimating the degree of dominance in the air and in aerospace.
