How not to procure your Armed forces. By Arthur C. Clarke.

[telecat]

The best 4,000 words you’ll ever read about 21st-century defence procurement were written more than 60 years ago by a former Royal Air Force radar boffin, Arthur C. Clarke, who would go on to become a lauded science-fiction luminary.

“Superiority” Is one of his early Short Stories.

'Glide Path' is a good book too.

Clarke was already a well known sci-fi and general science writer when he wrote that short story.
