In 1916, Lanchester published Aircraft in Warfare: the Dawn of the Fourth Arm, a book that had grown out of his observations of aerial combat in World War I.  He included a series of differential equations for battlefield attrition, known today as Lanchester’s Power Laws, which became the foundation for the science of Operations Research.
