Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aviation in Peace and War Our nation as a whole has been educated, owing to its geographical situation and by tra dition, to interest itself in the broader aspects of marine policy and development. It 'requires to take the same interest in aviation, a comparatively new subject, unhampered to a great extent by preconceived notions and therefore offering greater scope for individual thought. The following 1sketch 1 has been written in the hope that some of those who read it may be inspired to study aviation in one or other of its branches, whether from the historical, technical, strategical, or commercial point of view. Any opinions e pressed are, of course, my own-and not official. I propose first briefly to trace the history of aviation from its beginnings to the outbreak of war; next to describe the evolution of aircraft and of air strategy during the war; and last to estimate the present position and to look into the future.

Download or read book Air Power in UN Operations written by A. Walter Dorn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air power for warfighting is a story that's been told many times. Air power for peacekeeping and UN enforcement is a story that desperately needs to be told. For the first-time, this volume covers the fascinating range of aerial peace functions. In rich detail it describes: aircraft transporting vital supplies to UN peacekeepers and massive amounts of humanitarian aid to war-affected populations; aircraft serving as the 'eyes in sky' to keep watch for the world organization; and combat aircraft enforcing the peace. Rich poignant case studies illuminate the past and present use of UN air power, pointing the way for the future. This book impressively fills the large gap in the current literature on peace operations, on the United Nations and on air power generally.

Download or read book Boeing in Peace and War written by E. E. Bauer and published by Taba Publishing. This book was released on 1991 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1903, two events occurred that shaped the course of aviation history. The Wright Brothers flew at Kitty Hawk & Bill Boeing came to Seattle, Washington. Forged in the crucible of World War I, heavier-than-air flying machines quickly established themselves as a major force, & in World War II, after the foot soldier himself, became the primary instrument of attack & victory. On the commercial side, airplanes began to bring people together--from all nations & all walks of life. For the first time in history, the world was beginning to be linked & bonded as had been visualized by Wendell Willkie in his ONE WORLD in 1943. At last the focus was on a common thread--the reality that the fragile earth is surrounded by a hostile universe. Much more than a history commemorating the 75th anniversary of the company in 1991, BOEING IN PEACE & WAR highlights the major product decisions made by Boeing--& those of its principal competitors over nearly eight decades--in leading to domination in commercial airplane production.

Download or read book The Influence of Airpower upon History written by Robin Higham and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From early zeppelins, to the Luftwaffe and the Enola Gay, to the unmanned aerial vehicles of today, air power has long been regarded as an invaluable instrument of war. However, nations have employed aircraft for many other purposes as well; they provide security and surveillance, and they are vital to myriad diplomatic and humanitarian efforts. Air power has become a means for statesmen to advance a variety of goals, opening up new possibilities and problems in times of peace as well as war. The Influence of Air Power upon History examines the many ways in which aviation technology has impacted policymaking since 1903. It analyzes air strategy in nations around the world and explores how a country's presumed technological capability, or lack thereof, has become a crucial aspect of diplomacy. Together, the essays in this insightful volume offer a greater understanding of the history of military force and diplomatic relations in the global community.
