More than ten years had passed since the last hijacking or bombing of a U.S. air carrier. That morning, however, the country came under a shocking, coordinated aerial assault by...

From the foreword: "Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, a series of geographically localized crises caused by political, religious, or ethnic unrest; outright military aggression; and natural disasters has replaced the relative stability that characterized international relations for more than fifty years of the Cold War. For the United States Air Force (USAF), this has meant short-notice deployments, airlifts, and other operational missions conducted in reaction to local crises. Such missions-once of secondary importance to nuclear deterrence or preparations for...

That Others May live: USAF Air Rescue in Korea
ISBN: 9781477549926 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When the Korean War began in June 1950, the United States Air Force's Air Rescue Service was a fledgling organization possessing a variety of aircraft types, most having seen service during World War II. The concept of using helicopters and amphibious fixed-wing aircraft to rescue airmen downed behind enemy lines or in hostile waters had gained little consideration by the Air Force and was largely unproven. But by the fall of 1950 the 3d Air Rescue Squadron had begun to write a new chapter in the history of air power, and by July 1953, when the armistice was signed in Korea, air rescue had...

High Frontier: The U.S. Air Force and the Military Space Program
ISBN: 9781477556702 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 86 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The United States military space program began at the end of World War II when a few people realized that space flight was now achievable and could be employed to military advantage. Science and technology in the form of advance radar, jet propulsion, ballistic rockets such as the V-2, and nuclear energy had dramatically altered the nature of war. Army Air Forces Commanding General Henry Arnold wrote in November 1845 that a space ship "is all but practicable today" and could be build "within the foreseeable future" The following month the Air Force Scientific Advisory Group concluded that...

To Hanoi and Back: The United States Air Force and North Vietnam 1966-1973
ISBN: 9781477550168 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. No experience etched itself more deeply into Air Force thinking than the air campaigns over North Vietnam. Two decades later in the deserts of Southwest Asia, American airmen were able to avoid the gradualism that cost so many lives and planes in the jungles of Southeast Asia. Readers should come away from this book with a sympathetic understanding of the men who bombed North Vietnam. Those airmen handled tough problems in ways that ultimately reshaped the Air Force into the effective instrument on display in the Gulf War. This book is a sequel to Jacob Van Staaveren's Gradual Failure: The...

American concerns over air defense of the continental United States were at their most grave in the 1950's. The descent into cold war in the late 1940's, the confrontation of two hostile political systems in distant Korea, and the Soviet development of atomic weapons earlier than expected came together to stimulate popular pressures for a shield against manned bombers reaching the American heartland from the North Pole. This manuscript describes the efforts take by the Air Force in light of the real threats of nuclear weapons. The postwar Air Defense Command, an administrative and planning...

During the perilous years of 1940-1941, a small band of Americans joined the Royal Air Force to help England resist Nazi Germany. They did so while the United States remained a neutral power and overcame significant obstacles to accomplish their objective. Over time, the RAF formed three fighter units, known collectively as the Eagle Squadrons, around these volunteer pilots. These Americans flew alongside their British comrades in fighter and bomber escort missions until 1942, when they transferred into the United States Army Air Forces. The Eagle Squadron pilots made noteworthy contributions...

Decisive Force: Strategic Bombing in the Gulf War
ISBN: 9781477556931 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the Persian Gulf War the U.S. Air Force (USAF) demonstrated that a new era in strategic bombing had begun. Air power could now destroy key portions of a county's military and economic infrastructure without resort to nuclear weapons and heavy bombers and with low losses to both the attacker and enemy civilians. This achievement rested on technology, which both increased bombing accuracy and decreased the effectiveness of enemy defenses, and the reexamination and reapplication of traditional strategic bombing theory by USAF planning officers.
