By the early 20th century, Imperial Japan had established itself as the dominant force in Asia. Through ruthless military conquests, the small island nation greatly expanded its borders. The rising imperial power soon set its sights on conquering much of East Asia. By 1921, nearly a third of Japan’s national budget was dedicated to building one of the most powerful navies in the world.
In response to Japan and other world powers rapidly expanding their naval strength, the Washington Naval Treaty was signed in 1922 to impose restrictions on the size and number of warships. However, American military planners were not convinced—rightfully so—that Imperial Japan would adhere to these new restrictions for very long. The United States, surrounded by two enormous oceans, seemed increasingly vulnerable.

When the MV Derbyshire was completed in 1976, she was the largest OBO (Ore-Bulk-Oil) carrier in the world—and the pride of Britain’s shipbuilding industry. Nearly a thousand feet long and twice as wide as the Titanic, she was too large for both the Panama and Suez canals. Instead, she was built to travel through the world’s most unforgiving oceans. With advanced engineering and the reputation of Swan Hunter Shipbuilding behind her, many believed her to be all but unsinkable.

On January 16, 1991, the Gulf War began when an international coalition of 39 nations responded decisively to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. In the opening hours, coalition aircraft struck Iraq’s air defense systems and command networks, crippling its ability to respond.
At the time, the Iraqi Air Force was the sixth largest in the world. But within days, it was overwhelmed. Many Iraqi jets were lost in the early hours of combat, and hundreds more were destroyed on the ground. Facing near-total air superiority by the coalition, Saddam Hussein ordered a mass evacuation of Iraqi aircraft to neighboring Iran, hoping to preserve them for the future.

On January 2, 1967, U.S. Air Force pilots executed one of the most audacious aerial deceptions of the Vietnam War. Designated as Operation Bolo, in less than half an hour more than half of North Vietnam’s Mig-21 force was knocked out of the skies.
For months, American strike aircraft had suffered heavy losses due to North Vietnam’s expanding ground-based air defenses. In the skies, the North’s small and outdated air force was proving increasingly effective, using aggressive ambush tactics to disrupt strike packages before they could reach their targets. The arrival of state-of-the-art MiG-21 interceptors threatened to tip the balance even further against U.S. pilots.
Operation Bolo was conceived by Colonel Robin Olds, a decorated combat veteran who recognized that regaining control of the skies would require outthinking the enemy. Since the start of the war, U.S. pilots had been constrained by strict rules of engagement drafted by administrators in Washington. Forbidden from striking
