Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Air Education and Training Command, 1942-2002 Until the early 19303, pilots had been their own navigators. Then as airlines began to make long distance flights, they added a navigator to the flight crew. The military, however. Continued to treat navigation training as part of pilot training. Consequently when it, too, began to see a need for specialized navigators, in July 1940 the Army signed a contract with Pan American Airways, Incorporated, to provide training in navigation and meteorology to flying cadets, an arrangement that continued until 1944. In November 1940 the Air Corps opened its first navigator school at Barksdale Field, Louisiana. Cadres later went out from Barksdale to establish seven other schools across the country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. did not become the world's foremost military air power by accident. The learning curve--World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and more recently the war on terror--has been steep. While climbing this curve, the U.S. has not only produced superior military aircraft in greater numbers than its foes, but has--in due course--out-trained them, too. This book provides a comprehensive historical survey of U.S. military training aircraft, including technical specifications, drawings and photographs of each type of fixed and rotary-wing design used over a 98-year period to accomplish the first step of the learning process: the training of pilots and aircrews.

Download or read book So Far From Home written by Robert Kane and published by NewSouth Books. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During World War II, the US Army Air Forces (AAF) trained over 21,000 aircrew members from 29 Allied countries. The two largest programs, 79 percent of those trained, were for Britain and France. The Royal Air Force (RAF), fully engaged against the German Air Force by December 1940, was not able to train new aircrews. The British government asked the United States to train new pilots until it could get its own flight training program underway. Lieutenant General Henry "Hap" Arnold, chief of the Army Air Corps, authorized the training of RAF pilots at select airfields in the southeast United States, including at Maxwell and Gunter fields near Montgomery, Alabama. Between June 1941 and February 1943, when the RAF terminated what became known as the Arnold Plan, 4,300 of more than 7,800 RAF cadets sent to the United States completed the three-phase AAF flight training program. Within three months, some of the same schools, including the phase 2 school at Gunter Field, began training Free French Air Force flight cadets. By November 1945, when the US government terminated the French training program, 2,100 French flight cadets out of the 4,100 who came to the United States had received their wings. This book tells for the first time the story of the RAF and Free French flight training programs in central Alabama, covering the origins, the issues, and the problems that occurred during the training programs, and the results and lessons learned.
Download or read book The Hobday Connection written by Dane Hobday Hays and published by Author House. This book was released on 2011-12-07 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a style reminiscent of Forest Gump, the author of The Hobday Connection weaves a tale that encompasses the lives of several individuals through a remarkable sixty-five year journey. This is not a war story nor is it just a love story. It is the account of people who overcame adversity and challenges in their everyday lives, while dealing with their loves, fears and emotions. Told through the eyes of six main characters the narrative is in both first person and third person views. Their lives are tied together by family secrets, deceptions, love, hate and war. Intermixed within the chapters are cameo moments with real celebrities and war heroes. Among the celebrities mentioned are Howard Hughes & Ava Gardner, Kirk Douglas, John Wayne and J.P. Getty. While searching for lifes answers the main characters find surprises and experiences that they had never expected or imagined. An old soldier facing death discovers a hidden family secret that changes his life forever. An elderly Nun, trying desperately to bury the past must relive fifty year old memories and deal with new challenges. A young man seduced by an older married woman must make life changing decisions. A child born out of wedlock faces a tough life of physical and emotional abuse yet achieves success far beyond his wildest dreams. The Hobday Connection is not a war story by any means, though portions are dedicated to events before and during the Korean War. Yet there are no strong depictions of sex or violence within the book. It is more than a love story in that family dynamics, social drama and history are also involved while revealing one mans journey through life. The many choices he has and the paths he must follow to overcome challenges presented to him. These themes are of particular interest in todays market and should attract a wide audience.
Download or read book Goodfellow Air Force Base written by Dr. John V. Garrett and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2020-01-20 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Goodfellow Air Force Base is one of the oldest installations in the US Air Force. It was the first of scores of flying training fields established across Texas and Oklahoma during World War II. What qualified San Angelo as the site for the first of the new fields did not, for the most part, distinguish it much from its neighbors. The clear skies and flat, forgiving terrain so desirable in the training of pilots were regional qualities. But San Angelo also had Bob Carr, a former military aviator who spearheaded a local effort to provide land, an important railroad spur, and key utility connections if the new pilot school were built nearby. Over the next eight decades, nurtured by a special relationship between city and base, Goodfellow has distinguished itself by training more than 400,000 pilots, intelligence operators, and firefighters for all the armed forces of the United States.
Download or read book Survival in the South Pacific written by Robert Richardson and published by Casemate. This book was released on 2024-09-30 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of a young pilot who disappeared on a routine mission, resulting in a rescue attempt on a remote and inhospitable island in the South Pacific. In September 1943, as America began advancing from its foothold on Guadalcanal, a young American airman was lost in heavy weather over the South Pacific on what was expected to be a routine flight. In examining that loss and the events leading up to a rescue attempt on an island in the South Pacific, and bringing together societies utterly alien to each other, Survival in the South Pacific brings together the big themes of the Pacific War. Lieutenant Leonard Richardson and his comrades had been swept from their homes across America, trained at speed for war, and dispatched to one of the remotest places on the globe. American war plans in place when Pearl Harbor was attacked poorly reflected the capabilities of its military, and the limits imposed by America’s far-flung and indefensible territories. The “Germany First” policy had resulted in a deeply uncertain future for forces in the South Pacific and Australia—the United States was unprepared for the global war that came to it in late 1941, even as the pipeline of men and materiel began to fill. Young Allied and Japanese aviators, sailors, and soldiers, were not the only ones thrown into the swirling maelstrom of war that had engulfed the Pacific—the indigenous islanders were also immersed in a new reality. In bringing together individual stories of men at war, this book gives a new perspective on the Pacific War.

Download or read book Area 51 Black Jets written by Bill Yenne and published by Zenith Press. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Area 51's most important military aviation developments are profiled in an illustrated format. When most of us think of Area 51, we think of aliens, UFOs, and controversial government cover-ups. It's easy to forget that, since the mid-1950s, the United States' famed extension of Edwards Air Force Base has served as a top-secret CIA testing ground for many of the most groundbreaking advancements in American military aviation technology. In Area 51 - Black Jets, author and military historian Bill Yenne offers the first fully illustrated chronology of Area 51's most famous aircraft projects, including Lockheed's U-2 "Dragon Lady" and SR-71 "Blackbird" reconnaissance planes, drones ranging from the early Lockheed D-21 to the modern-day General Atomics MQ-1 Predator, and the famous F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter produced by the Have Blue program during the 1970s. Each project is given its own fascinating chapter illuminating the aircraft's development at this famed location. But beyond the aircraft themselves, Area 51 - Black Jets also covers a handful of the many classified experimental programs carried out at Area 51 over the years, such as Have Doughnut, Have Ferry, and Have Drill - secret undertakings that successfully reverse-engineered such enemy aircraft as the Russian MiG during the Cold War. Presented in beautiful hardcover format and illustrated with historic color and black-and-white photographs, diagrams, and maps, this book reveals Area 51 for what it truly is: a clandestine area for the United States' most cutting-edge technological innovators in military aviation.
