Choke Hold: The Attack on Japanese Oil during the War
ISBN: 9781500371036 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) After WW I, Army airmen like Billy Mitchell, in a bid for service independence, touted land-based air power's dominance over ships. Later, airmen at the Air Corps Tactical School developed a theory of independent air power application based on strategic bombing. These airmen persuaded Congress to purchase the tools to implement strategic bombing--fleets of heavy bombers--by citing these aircraft as optimum for defending the US coasts against enemy ships. However, when the opportunity to test the efficacy of bombers against ships presented itself in WW II's Pacific Theater, Army Air Force...

Bombing to Surrender: The Contribution of Air Power to the Collapse of Italy, 1943
ISBN: 9781500860141 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Throughout this first century of air power, military theorists have proposed numerous schemes as the best use of air power. Airmen of many nations tried and tested these theories in wars large and small and they have learned, ignored, or forgotten many lessons. Of the four major coercive mechanisms available to air power punishment, risk, military denial and decapitation Robert Pape in Bombing to Win, concludes that military denial is the best use of air power. Furthermore, Pape argues that recent technological advances only enhance the military denial mechanism. In his appendix, Pape...

The Time Value of Military Force in Modern Warfare
ISBN: 9781505360158 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book seeks to answer the question, "How can airpower help resolve time-induced tensions between political and military imperatives in the conduct of modern warfare?" To answer this question, the book begins by exploring time in the theory of war with an emphasis on time as a fourth dimension that provides a distinct perspective on warfare. With concepts gleaned from theory, this study analyzes the Arab-Israeli War of 1967, the Falklands War, and the Gulf War to determine the role airpower played in overcoming time conflicts and achieving political-military congruence. The book concludes...

Lifeline from the Sky: The Doctrinal Implications of Supplying an Enclave from the Air
ISBN: 9781505409062 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 58 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book seeks to answer the following question: What are the doctrinal imperatives of providing effective airlift support to enclaves? Doctrinal imperatives are those necessary and sufficient propositions that describe the optimal way to employ airlift forces in support of an enclave. In short, this book attempts to determine the best way to conduct airlift operations to support enclaves. The primary conclusion of this book is that four fundamental factors influence airlift operations: requirement to capability ratio, threat, support infrastructure, and weather. The second conclusion is...

Will the Bomber Always Get Through? The Air Force and its Reliance on Technology
ISBN: 9781508844488 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This study analyses the inherent dangers of relying too heavily, or solely, on one panacea technology to prosecute war strategy at the expense of other, essential capabilities. The historically sound pillars of military success (the sword, the shield, and the support) have given victory to those who have used all three in a balanced, synergistic manner. When, due to over-reliance on a single technology, one of these pillars is relegated to a lesser status, or when one is marginalized, the pendulum of the advantage may swing to the enemy, or the enemy may successfully force a pendulum swing to...

Marine Close Air Support in Korea 1950-1953
ISBN: 9781500780210 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book examines the historical record and primary source of conflict between the armed services over the issue of the effective employment of close air support during the Korean War. The study considers the impact of the single air asset manager on CAS employment during World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. The disagreement examined and explained in this study is the distinction and desire between the Navy-Marines control system and the Army-Air Force control system. The author evaluates the development of service and joint doctrine and the arguments over centralized and decentralized command...

A Prototype JFACC: General George C. Kenney
ISBN: 9781505360417 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) With the down-sizing of our current military force structure, military and civilian leaders are searching for ways to ensure unity of effort during military operations. For air operations, the USAF claims that a Joint Force Air Component Commander (JFACC) is the best concept to ensure this unity of effort. One man they frequently cite as the prototypical JFACC is General George C. Kenney in his role as General MacArthur's air commander in the Southwest Pacific during World War II. Most of these discussions centers around Kenney's initial actions in 1942 and 1943. This book discusses Kenney's...

10 Propositions Regarding Air Power
ISBN: 9781507732168 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Though we are still within the first century of powered flight, air power has already become the dominant form of military power projection in the modern world. The doctrinal underpinnings of air power thought are, of course, traditionally ascribed to the three great theorists of air power application, Doubet, Trenchard, and Mitchell. Since the Second World War, the air power community has not often explored the doctrinal implications of air power development. Lord Tedder's Lee Knowles lectures at Cambridge, and the writings of Air Vice Marshal R. A. Mason, and Colonel John A. Warden III...

Fire in the City Airpower in Urban, Smaller-Scale Contingencies
ISBN: 9781523342211 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book examines the roles and missions of airpower in urban operations in smaller-scale contingencies. Urban operations, often referred to as military operations on urbanized terrain (MOUT), are some of the most complex and difficult missions currently facing the US military. Smaller-scale contingencies introduce the challenge of significant political constraints and an increasing intolerance for casualties and collateral damage. To capture the difficulty of urban combat, the book concentrates on cases where combat operations were either conducted or planned. The study examines five cases...
