Download or read book Kings of the Air written by Ian Sumner and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In comparison to their British and German counterparts, the French airmen of the Great War are not well known. Yet their aerial exploits were just as remarkable, and their contribution to the war effort on the Western Front was equally important. That is why Ian Sumner's vivid history of the men of the French air force during the war is of such value. He tells their story using the words of the pioneering pilots and observers themselves, drawn from memoirs, diaries, letters, and contemporary newspapers, magazines and official documents. The recollections of the airmen give an authentic portrait of their role and their wartime careers. They cover recruitment and training, reconnaissance and artillery spotting, aerial combat, ground strafing and bombing, and squadron life. They also highlight the technical and tactical innovations made during those hectic years, as well as revealing the airmen's attitude to the enemy - and their thoughts about the ever-present threat of injury and death.
Book Synopsis The Birth of British Airpower by : Peter John Dye
Download or read book The Birth of British Airpower written by Peter John Dye and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2024-10-15 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Birth of British Airpower describes how Hugh Trenchard, a man with few leadership skills, became a much-loved and inspirational commander who laid the foundation for British airpower on the Western Front in World War I and created the preconditions for the establishment of the world’s first independent air service, the Royal Air Force. Author Peter Dye explores how friendship can overcome significant personal and character deficiencies and how, by assembling the right senior leadership team, Trenchard achieved greatness. The book also examines how the development of airpower doctrine in World War I owed as much to chance as to careful planning and how air superiority was achieved only through sustained effort, underpinned by an effective and responsive logistic system. Finally, it explains how the ethos of the postwar air force was built around these experiences and the collective effort of all those involved in the air war.

Book excerpt: This volume of essays focuses upon Britain's international and imperial role from the mid-Victorian era through until the immediate aftermath of the Second World War.

This collection, along with the accompanying volume covering the period after World War 2, is dedicated to the memory of Professor Saki Dockrill.
Book Synopsis Researching World War I by : Robin Higham
Download or read book Researching World War I written by Robin Higham and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2003-12-30 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World War I was the greatest cataclysm Europe had ever known, directly involving 61 million troops from 16 nations. Yet the history of the war and the reasons it started and spread so rapidly were vastly more complex than the players realized. Written by highly respected authorities, this book discusses the literature on all aspects of the war, making it an excellent starting point for anyone seeking guidance to the immense, and often daunting, body of World War I literature. The struggle mobilized manpower from home, troops from the colonies abroad, and—in most countries-women as well as men. Governments increasingly intervened in everyday life. New weapons and organizational structures were developed. Yet the history of the war and the reasons it started and spread so rapidly were vastly more complex than the players realized. Written by highly respected authorities, this book discusses the literature on all aspects of the war. Dennis Showalter's opening chapter covers the controversial issue of the war's origins—a complex subject that has been much debated by historians. Ensuing chapters consider the literature on each of the participating countries. The broader subjects of the war at sea and the war in the air are also covered. Daniel Beaver's final chapter discusses the mobilization of industry and the new military technology. This book is an excellent starting point for anyone seeking guidance to the immense, and often daunting, body of World War I literature.

Book Synopsis The French Army's Tank Force and Armoured Warfare in the Great War by : Tim Gale
Download or read book The French Army's Tank Force and Armoured Warfare in the Great War written by Tim Gale and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent scholarship has challenged the assumption that military commanders during the First World War were inflexible, backward-looking and unwilling to exploit new technologies. Instead a very different picture is now emerging of armies desperately looking to a wide range of often untested and immature scientific and technological innovations to help break the deadlock of the Western Front. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in the development of tank warfare, which both the British and the French hoped would give them a decisive edge in their offensives of 1917 and 1918. Whilst the British efforts to develop armoured warfare have been well chronicled, there has been no academic study in English on the French tank force - the Artillerie Spéciale - during the Great War. As such, this book provides a welcome new perspective on an important but much misunderstood area of the war. Such was the scale of the French tanks’ failure in their first engagement in 1917, it was rumoured that the Artillerie Spéciale was in danger of being disbanded, yet, by the end of the war it was the world’s largest and most technologically advanced tank force. This work examines this important facet of the French army’s performance in the First World War, arguing that the AS fought the war in as intelligent and sensible a manner as was possible, given the immature state of the technology available. No amount of sound tank doctrine could compensate for the fragility of the material, for the paucity of battlefield communication equipment and for the lack of tank-infantry training opportunities. Only by 1918 was the French army equipped with enough reliable tanks, as well as aircraft and heavy-artillery, to begin to exercise a mastery of the new form of combined-arms warfare. The successful French armoured effort outlined in this study (including a listing of all the combat engagements of the French tank service in the Great War) highlights a level of military effectiveness within

Book excerpt: L’appareil de formation des militaires est réactif et déjà largement rationalisé. Les militaires français suivent des parcours exigeants, qui font la qualité de leur engagement en opérations. Afin de conforter la place des armées dans la Nation et rester en phase avec les évolutions technologiques et sociétales, l’appareil de formation doit aujourd’hui poursuivre son ouverture vers les institutions civiles, tout en gardant ce qui constitue son ADN : développer chez ces hommes et femmes le sens de l’engagement au service des autres et du dépassement de soi. Les propositions des rapporteurs sont les suivantes : – augmenter, dans les écoles d’officiers, la proportion de places offertes aux étudiants ayant déjà accompli un premier parcours universitaire ; – encourager les grandes écoles militaires à décloisonner leurs cursus pour tendre vers des modèles d’écoles uniques, assorties d’un insigne commun ; – augmenter la proportion d’élèves-officiers effectuant un semestre de scolarité dans un autre établissement d’enseignement supérieur et accueillir, dans le même temps, une plus grande proportion d’étudiants issus de ces établissements ; – augmenter la proportion d’élèves-officiers effectuant un semestre de scolarité dans une académie militaire étrangère et accueillir, dans le même temps, une plus grande proportion de cadets issus de ces établissements ; – encourager les écoles militaires à adopter un statut d’établissement public à caractère scientifique, culturel et professionnel (EPSCP) ; – favoriser la création, dans chacune des armées, d’écoles à destination des élèves en situation d’échec scolaire, en y consacrant des moyens spécifiques ; – doter au plus vite les armées d’un outil complet de connaissance des coûts de l’appareil de formation ; – définir une méthodologie, commune aux trois armées, permettant de préparer et de développer des partenariats de formation avec les industriels ; – amplifier la féminisation des effectifs des cadres des écoles et des centres de recrutement pour promouvoir la mixité des choix de carrière des femmes.
