This book was released on 2012-12 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1952, this volume is a history of the evolution of an air defense system in the United States from approximately the end of World War II through June 1951. The decision to include in the present work an account of the pioneer air defense efforts of its predecessors as well as major developments within the Air Defense Command for the first half of 1951 was prompted by certain important historiographical considerations. Foremost of these was the necessity for placing the present Air Defense Command's air defense effort in its proper historical setting. Unfortunately, there was a year and one half period (June 1947 -December 1948) when no history of air defense was written. And while Continental Air Command histories for the period January 1949-June 1950 contained much information of value, the diversity of missions of that command had the effect of obscuring its air defense contributions as revealed in its official history. It is frankly admitted that a great wealth of data on certain of the subjects treated herein remains to be exploited. It is also acknowledged that several subjects deserving of treatment were not presented either for lack of time or because of a paucity of reference data. It is felt, however, that the considerations necessary to an historical appreciation of the complex subject of air defense have been revealed in the present work. In future semi- annual histories and historical monographs any omissions appearing in this volume will be corrected. The greatest of care was exercised to substantiate all facts and analyses in the history with pertinent documentation. Also, the officers of the headquarters were solicited to read and comment freely on those chapters the subject matter of which was most familiar to them. If, in spite of these precautions, inaccuracies of fact or misleading interpretations are subsequently revealed, immediate correction will be made in all outstanding copies.

Download or read book A Handbook of Aerospace Defense Organization 1946-1980 - History of the Air Defense Command and the Aerospace Defense Command - Air Defense in World War I and II, Cold War Era, Squadrons written by U. S. Military and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-04 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook is intended as a reference to air defense organizations of the USAF, principally of the Air Defense Command and later the Aerospace Defense Command, from 1946 to 1980. Section I is a brief summary of the evolution of the air defense mission. Section II lists major changes in air defense organization from .the formation of Air Defense Command in 1946 to the inactivation of Aerospace Defense Command 34 years and 10 days later. The remaining two sections provide lineage information on organizations from air forces through squadrons. At the outbreak of war in 1914 the problem of defense against air attack had been hardly considered. Aircraft performance was so limited that little more than reconnaissance flights over the lines could be undertaken. During the first three years of war the remarkable improvement in aircraft of both sides was not matched by a comparable improvement in the means for air defense. On the Western Front air defense was not considered a special factor in the overall conduct of the air war. Few air tactics were developed specifically for air defense, combat air patrols generally doubling for both offensive and defensive purposes. However, large numbers of antiaircraft guns and searchlights were eventually emplaced behind the lines and a few captive barrage balloons were added for defense of specific targets. Then as now, the problem of early warning was of great importance. Ground observers at the front reported by telephone the approach of hostile aircraft and were assisted eventually by sound locating devices. Effective air defense of ground forces on the Allied side of the lines was. achieved by mid-1918 only through Allied air superiority.

Download or read book Command Of The Air written by General Giulio Douhet and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the pantheon of air power spokesmen, Giulio Douhet holds center stage. His writings, more often cited than perhaps actually read, appear as excerpts and aphorisms in the writings of numerous other air power spokesmen, advocates-and critics. Though a highly controversial figure, the very controversy that surrounds him offers to us a testimonial of the value and depth of his work, and the need for airmen today to become familiar with his thought. The progressive development of air power to the point where, today, it is more correct to refer to aerospace power has not outdated the notions of Douhet in the slightest In fact, in many ways, the kinds of technological capabilities that we enjoy as a global air power provider attest to the breadth of his vision. Douhet, together with Hugh “Boom” Trenchard of Great Britain and William “Billy” Mitchell of the United States, is justly recognized as one of the three great spokesmen of the early air power era. This reprint is offered in the spirit of continuing the dialogue that Douhet himself so perceptively began with the first edition of this book, published in 1921. Readers may well find much that they disagree with in this book, but also much that is of enduring value. The vital necessity of Douhet’s central vision-that command of the air is all important in modern warfare-has been proven throughout the history of wars in this century, from the fighting over the Somme to the air war over Kuwait and Iraq.

Download or read book Condensed Analysis of the Ninth Air Force in the European Theater of Operations of World War II - D-Day, Normandy, Ardennes, Battle of the Bulge, Middle Wallop, Biggin Hill, Second World War written by Department of Defense and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-05 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The original edition of this work was published as a Special Study -- RESTRICTED -- by Headquarters, Army Air Forces, Office of the Assistant Chief of Air Staff, Washington, D.C., in March 1946. The study was approved by Headquarters, United States Air Forces in Europe and Headquarters, Army Air Forces. All the information in the original edition, including the title and subtitle, appears in its entirety in this reprint. It is titled as an analytical study of the operating procedures and functional organization of tactical air power as developed by the Ninth Air Force in the war of Western Europe.The Condensed Analysis contains a short history of the Ninth Air Force in World War II, from the build-up before the invasion of the European continent through subsequent combat operations in 1944 and 1945. More than a narrative history, the study examines the problems that Ninth experienced in conducting joint combat operations with ground forces across the rapidly moving battlefront in France and Germany. Some of its recommendations were implemented after World War II, others involve issues we continue to struggle with today: The need for a theater level air headquarters, command and control of tactical air forces, the importance of air-ground cooperation (including the co-location of headquarters), and the absence of the capability to mount night and all-weather operations--the lack of a "real and effective 24-hour-a-day operation." In its comprehensiveness, the Condensed Analysis also touches aircrew training and rotation, air base defense organization, civil engineering support, intelligence--virtually every one of today's Air Force specialties.Since 1945 the Air Force has gone far in creating a modernized force structure with highly professional personnel. Yet many of the doctrinal problems identified during World War II are still with us today. A look back, therefore, can be a useful reminder of how such problems developed and how they might be solved.Chapter I - Introduction * Chapter II - A Critical Review of Ninth Air Force Operations * A.
