Follow-Up Questions (Delete those you don't use, or create your own e.g,, expand on key point four).

01. Why does the ADF maintain the two-word form "air power" despite the growing academic trend towards "airpower"?

02. How might inconsistent use of "air power" vs "airpower" affect searchability and doctrinal clarity in multinational operations?

03. Should educational institutions standardise one form to improve interoperability between military and academic air power studies? 

OVERVIEW: The choice between "airpower" and "air power" depends on the context:
Use air power in formal doctrines, military manuals, and official publications for precision and adherence to traditional military terminologies.
Use airpower in academic, analytical, or more informal discussions to align with a concise and modernised usage.
If you're working on a specific publication or analysis, it would be prudent to align with the dominant convention in that field.

KEY POINTS

01.   The term "airpower" and "air power" are used interchangeably in many contexts, with the primary variation stemming from stylistic preferences in specific publications or doctrines. Here's an analysis based on the sources provided:
02.   Consistent Use in Doctrine:
03.   Australian Defence Force (ADF) uses "air power" extensively in its official doctrine publications, reflecting a preference for the two-word form. For example, it explicitly outlines principles, attributes, and strategic implications of air power in a detailed and formalised manner.
04.   Academic and Historical Texts:
05.   Publications like Why Air Forces Fail and Airpower for Strategic Effect often use "airpower" as a single word, aligning with broader academic practices in discussing the operational and strategic applications of aerial capabilities.
06.   Contextual Preference:
07.   In strategic discussions or academic analyses (e.g., Global Air Power by John Andreas Olsen), "airpower" appears more frequently to streamline terminology in dense textual formats.
08.   For official or formal military publications, "air power" tends to be the standard, reflecting the term's precise articulation in structured documents like the Defence Capability Manual or NATO and ADF doctrines.

CONCLUSION

The choice between "airpower" and "air power" depends on the context:
Use air power in formal doctrines, military manuals, and official publications for precision and adherence to traditional military terminologies.
Use airpower in academic, analytical, or more informal discussions to align with a concise and modernised usage.
If you're working on a specific publication or analysis, it would be prudent to align with the dominant convention in that field.
