U.S. warplanes attack Iraq Allied strikes hammer Hussein's missile sites, defenses Ground forces not involved in action yet
1991
Overview
The United States launched a massive air attack on Iraq and Iraqi-held Kuwait Wednesday night, the thunderous beginning of what President Bush said was a war to liberate Kuwait and destroy Iraq's war machine. Spearheaded by bomb-laden U.S. Air Force F-15E jets from central Saudi Arabia and deadly Tomahawk cruise missiles fired from U.S. Navy ships, the initial attack fell on Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's capital city of Baghdad, apparently at the city's airport and at key defense installations throughout Iraq. At that instant, about 3 a.m. in Baghdad, Operation Desert Shield, the code name for last summer's United Nations effort to deter Hussein's advance, became Operation Desert Storm, the biggest air assault since the Vietnam War and the opening of a violent drive to force Hussein to abandon the territory he seized Aug 2.
