Actually I think Illwinter means that Caelum's flying troops are great for raiding, harassment, and cutting off supply lines.
Example: a big opposing army is making a beeline for your capitol. By attacking the provinces *behind* the big army with your fliers, while meeting the big army with your ground forces (Wingless + Mammoths + archers) you can force the big army to separate or starve, cut off their lines of retreat, and cause them all kinds of havoc.
