Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Textbook of Military Aeronautics One of the purposes of this book it to make available to our prospective American aviators the educational in formation regarding the manner in which aviators fight the enemy - information which the enemy gets whenever Allied aviators are brought down oral printed instructions are found on them, and by daily observations of what the Allied aviators do. The author has found by talking to Allied officers and from the score or so of periodicals of the European countries engaged in this war that all information about modus operandi and aeroplanes and devices becomes known to the enemy almost immediately, through the capture of aeroplanes and aviators and through observation of repetition of actions. Another purpose of this book is to supply to military authorities an illustrated pen picture of the history of the evolution of military aeronautics, its present status, and the direction of its development. The hundreds of letters received from naval officers regarding the value to them of the "Textbook of Naval Aeronautics" convinced the author of the need for a similar book about military aeronautics rather than for a book dealing with the mechanics of military aircraft and their equipment, an extensive subject that would fill a book as huge as this volume. The following excerpts of letters from the commanding officers of war-ships give the general sentiment expressed in the letters received about the "Textbook of Naval Aeronautics." which are close to one thousand in number. Acknowledging the receipt of two copies of the text-book, one for himself and one for the ship's library, for the use of the crew, the commanding officer of a United States war-ship writes: I know they will be of inestimable value. I have already spent same pleasant and instructive hours in reading a copy and must admit I knew little of the state of the art as applied to naval aeronautics until this time, and I am sure officers and men will be astonished to know how far this science has progressed in our service, and I am further satisfied it will awaken keener interest in this brunch of naval activity and produce recruits for this service among our skilled mechanicians and those daring souls to whom the routine life aboard battle-ships may become irksome. There is as much difference between aerial warfare in connection with army operations and aerial warfare in connection with naval operations as there is between the operations of the army and navy proper. The naval aviator who has to hunt submarines, convoy troop-ships, locate submarine mines, patrol the sea-lanes, and man uver his aircraft over the sea in scouting or bomb-dropping expeditions must have a training which is entirely different from that of the military aviator, who locates and watches the movements of the enemy's artillery and infantry, photographs the enemy's positions, and cooperates in attacking soldiers in the trenches or on the march, etc. Hence the necessity of the two books. Supremacy in the air is the key to victory. "Had Use Allies one thousand more aeroplanes, we could have easily defeated the Germans." This is the general expression that one hears as the German offensive is raging. It is an official as well as a public expression, and everybody scans the reports to find out what the aeroplanes are doing and whether the Allies have sufficient aeroplanes to maintain that supremacy in the air which is necessary to decide the war in favor of the Allies. With one thousand additional warplanes, the Allies would have been able to prevent German aviators from mapping the Allied positions; and could have destroyed the military bases, munition-dumps, gun emplacements, the railroads upon which the troops, munitions, and supplies were transported."

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 327 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This investigation into the Nazi leader’s mindset is “an inherently fascinating study . . . a work of meticulously presented and seminal scholarship”(Midwest Book Review). Adolf Hitler’s virulent anti-Semitism is often attributed to external cultural and environmental factors. But as historian Peter den Hertog notes in this book, most of Hitler’s contemporaries experienced the same culture and environment and didn’t turn into rabid Jew-haters, let alone perpetrators of genocide. In this study, the author investigates what we do know about the roots of the German leader’s anti-Semitism. He also takes the significant step of mapping out what we do not know in detail, opening pathways to further research. Focusing not only on history but on psychology, forensic psychiatry, and related fields, he reveals how Hitler was a man with highly paranoid traits, and clarifies the causes behind this paranoia while explaining its connection to his anti-Semitism. The author also explores, and answers, whether the Führer gave one specific instruction ordering the elimination of Europe’s Jews, and, if so, when this took place. Peter den Hertog is able to provide an all-encompassing explanation for Hitler’s anti-Semitism by combining insights from many different disciplines—and makes clearer how Hitler’s own particular brand of anti-Semitism could lead the way to the Holocaust.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ian Moir and Allan Seabridge Military avionics is a complex and technically challenging field which requires a high level of competence from all those involved in the aircraft design and maintenance. As the various systems on board an aircraft evolve to become more and more inter-dependent and integrated, it is becoming increasingly important for designers to have a holistic view and knowledge of aircraft systems in order to produce an effective design for their individual components and effectively combine the systems involved. This book introduces the military roles expected of aircraft types and describes the avionics systems required to fulfil these roles. These range from technology and architectures through to navigations systems, sensors, computing architectures and the human-machine interface. It enables students to put together combinations of systems in order to perform specific military roles. Sister volume to the authors’ previous successful title ‘Civil Avionics Systems’ Covers a wide range of military aircraft roles and systems applications Offers clear and concise system descriptions Includes case studies and examples from current projects Features full colour illustrations detailing aircraft display systems Military Avionics Systems will appeal to practitioners in the aerospace industry across many disciplines such as aerospace engineers, designers, pilots, aircrew, maintenance engineers, ground crew, navigation experts, weapons developers and instrumentation developers. It also provides a valuable reference source to students in the fields of systems and aerospace engineering and avionics.

Book excerpt: First published in 1999, this book is an institutional history of flight training by the predecessor organizations of the United States Air Force. The U.S. Army purchased its first airplane, built and successfully flown by Orville and Wilbur Wright, in 1909, and paced both lighter-and heavier-than-air aeronautics in the Division of Military Aeronautics of the Signal Corps. Americans flew combat missions in France during World War I and during World War II. During this first era of military aviation, the groundwork was laid for the independent United States Air Force. This document is primarily based on official documents that are house in the National Archives and Records Administration. It is the first definitive study of this important subject.

Book excerpt: This essential book offers a compelling and original interpretation of the rise of military aviation. Jeremy Black, one of the world’s finest scholars of military history, provides a lucid analysis of the use of airpower over land and sea both during the two world wars and the more limited wars of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Considering both the theory and praxis of air power, the author begins with hot air balloons, and then highlights the use of zeppelins, piston engine fighters, jet bombers, and finally the so-called Military Revolution of today. While discussing the growth of American and European military aviation, Black, a pioneer in emphasizing the importance of non-Western military history for understanding global developments, also traces the emergence of air power in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Black breaks new ground by exploring not only to conventional war—both inside and outside Europe—but also to the use of air power in unconventional wars, especially critical given to the spread of insurgencies around the globe. He vividly describes traditional debates over the pros and cons of strategic bombing and aircraft carriers versus battleships and gives equal attention to managerial, doctrinal, and technological innovations. The author shows how better management resulted in increasing lethality of close air support of the RAF during the latter part of World War II and at the same times highlights the limits of air power with case studies of the two Gulf Wars. The author goes beyond our traditional understanding of air power associated with bombing and fighter engagements, adding the important elements associated with naval power, including ground/logistics support, anti-aircraft measures, and political constraints. As he explains, air power has become Western politicians’ weapon of choice, spreading maximum destruction with the minimum of commitment. His current and comprehensive study considers how we got to this point, and what the future has in store. Anyone seeking a balanced, accurate understanding of air power in history will find this book an essential introduction.
