Book excerpt: Looking at an old-time cannon, most people are sure of just one thing: the shot came out of the front end. For that reason, these pages are written; people are curious about the fascinating weapon that so prodigiously and powerfully lengthened the warrior's arm. And theirs is a justifiable curiosity, because the gunner and his "art" played a significant role in American history.

Download or read book Million-Dollar Barrage written by Justin G. Prince and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the beginning of the twentieth century, field artillery was a small, separate, unsupported branch of the U.S. Army. By the end of World War I, it had become the “King of Battle,” a critical component of American military might. Million-Dollar Barrage tracks this transformation. Offering a detailed account of how American artillery crews trained, changed, adapted, and fought between 1907 and 1923, Justin G. Prince tells the story of the development of modern American field artillery—a tale stretching from the period when field artillery became an independent organization to when it became an equal branch of the U.S. Army. The field artillery entered the Great War as a relatively new branch. It separated from the Coast Artillery in 1907 and established a dedicated training school, the School of Fire at Fort Sill, in 1911. Prince describes the challenges this presented as issues of doctrine, technology, weapons development, and combat training intersected with the problems of a peacetime army with no good industrial base. His account, which draws on a wealth of sources, ranges from debates about U.S. artillery practices relative to those of Europe, to discussions of the training, equipping, and performance of the field artillery branch during the war. Prince follows the field artillery from its plunge into combat in April 1917 as an unprepared organization to its emergence that November as an effective fighting force, with the Meuse-Argonne Offensive proving the pivotal point in the branch’s fortunes. Million-Dollar Barrage provides an unprecedented analysis of the ascendance of field artillery as a key factor in the nation’s military dominance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elements of Field Artillery: Designed for the Use of Infantry and Cavalry Officers Officers of infantry and cavalry, especially those belonging to the Staff, to whom some elementary knowledge of the practical working of field-artillery is absolutely necessary, have frequently requested me to recommend to them a text-book, wherein they might study the subject. Of standard, scientific works of this nature there is no lack - amongst them Colonel Owen's 'Modern Artillery' is pre-eminent; and I beg leave to express my acknowledgments to this officer for the assistance I have received from his treatise, from which I have ventured to borrow largely, and which I strongly recommend to those who wish to obtain a thorough knowledge of the science.

Download or read book Field Artillery And Fire Power written by J.B.A Bailey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This definitive overview of the development and use of artillery makes the complex artillery systems of today understandable, while at the same time showing how they have evolved and how they are likely to change in the future. The author, until recently chief of artillery for the British Army, is considered one of the world's foremost experts on the subject. Unlike other books that either describe the technical aspects of present-day firepower or outline its history during specific wars, this work provides both a detailed explanation of the modern artillery system and a history of its development over the past six hundred fifty years, identifying its enduring principles and changing practices against an ever-changing background of technology, tactics, and strategy. When an earlier version of this book was published in 1989, it became known as the best single source on field artillery in the English language. This new edition has been fully updated and substantially expanded to cover a wide range of contemporary military debates and the role of firepower, and is certain to be regarded as the ultimate work on the subject for years to come. J. B. A. Bailey assesses major developments over the past decade, analyzing artillery operations in airborne, urban, littoral, desert, jungle, mountain, artic, and nocturnal environments. He examines direct fire, counterfire, the suppression of enemy air defenses, and force protection methods. He explains field artillery from its primitive beginnings to its dominance as an art in World War II and its potent utility in operations since 1945 and into the future. The book will be of particular interest to military historians and those engaged in debating firepower's future. Published in cooperation with the Association of the United States Army. 15 photographs. 8 line drawings. Appendixes. Notes. Bibliography. Index. 7 x 10 inches.

Download or read book The French 75 written by Steven J. Zaloga and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-29 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'Soixantequinze', France's legendary 75mm Modele 1897, was the first modern field gun, pioneering several critical innovations in field artillery designs, including a fast action breech and a soft recoil system. Although some of these features had been incorporated into earlier guns, the 75mm M1897 integrated them into a superior, lightweight field gun. The 75mm M1897 earned its reputation in the Great War, forming the backbone of French field artillery. It was widely distributed to Allied armies, including the American Expeditionary Forces and was also widely exported after World War I around the globe. It was manufactured under licence in numerous countries, including the United States, which used the gun in its initial Pacific campaigns. Due to its modernity and sound design, the 75mm remained in service well into World War II. It was used by the French, Polish and other armies in the Blitzkrieg campaigns of 1939–1940 and thousands were captured by the German Army in 1940 and used for coastal defence. Surprisingly, many were also converted into a very effective anti-tank gun, the PaK 97/38. These weapons lingered in service after World War II, though by this time, they were largely obsolete. This fascinating book explores the history of the 75mm Modele 1897 in detail, from its design and development to its deployment around the world. The text is supported by stunning, specially commissioned artwork including three-dimensional views of the gun and its variants.

Service (2nd Edition Revised) This publication is purely a compilation; no originality is claimed. It is not possible to list all of the publications consulted in its preparation but the following are the principal ones: Drill Regulations for Field Artillery, U. S. Army, 1911 (ab. F. A. D. R.), Gunnery and explosives for Field Artillery Officers, Westervelt (ab. G. and E.); Field Service Regulations, U. S. Army (ab. F. S. R.); Cavalry Drill Regulations, U. S.

S. Army; and numerous articles in the Journal of the U. S. Field Artillery and other military periodicals. I desire to express my thanks to Major Nathaniel F. McClure, 5th Cavalry, Major Harry A. Smith, 28th Infantry, and Captain Charles D. Roberts, 7th Infantry, for many valuable suggestions and criticisms. The cordial reception by the public of the first edition of this book has warranted another edition. This edition conforms to the new Drill and Service Regulations for Field Artillery, just issued by the War Department, and an effort has been made to incorporate the principal changes in the art and science of Field Artillery occasioned by the present European conflict. Our knowledge of what is occurring on the battlefields abroad is very imperfect, especially in the details, but it is believed that the latest principles governing the use of Field Artillery are herein noted.
