This book was released on 2012-12 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1952, this volume is a history of the evolution of an air defense system in the United States from approximately the end of World War II through June 1951. The decision to include in the present work an account of the pioneer air defense efforts of its predecessors as well as major developments within the Air Defense Command for the first half of 1951 was prompted by certain important historiographical considerations. Foremost of these was the necessity for placing the present Air Defense Command's air defense effort in its proper historical setting. Unfortunately, there was a year and one half period (June 1947 -December 1948) when no history of air defense was written. And while Continental Air Command histories for the period January 1949-June 1950 contained much information of value, the diversity of missions of that command had the effect of obscuring its air defense contributions as revealed in its official history. It is frankly admitted that a great wealth of data on certain of the subjects treated herein remains to be exploited. It is also acknowledged that several subjects deserving of treatment were not presented either for lack of time or because of a paucity of reference data. It is felt, however, that the considerations necessary to an historical appreciation of the complex subject of air defense have been revealed in the present work. In future semi- annual histories and historical monographs any omissions appearing in this volume will be corrected. The greatest of care was exercised to substantiate all facts and analyses in the history with pertinent documentation. Also, the officers of the headquarters were solicited to read and comment freely on those chapters the subject matter of which was most familiar to them. If, in spite of these precautions, inaccuracies of fact or misleading interpretations are subsequently revealed, immediate correction will be made in all outstanding copies.

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 620 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.

This book was released on 2017-05-05 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The original edition of this work was published as a Special Study -- RESTRICTED -- by Headquarters, Army Air Forces, Office of the Assistant Chief of Air Staff, Washington, D.C., in March 1946. The study was approved by Headquarters, United States Air Forces in Europe and Headquarters, Army Air Forces. All the information in the original edition, including the title and subtitle, appears in its entirety in this reprint. It is titled as an analytical study of the operating procedures and functional organization of tactical air power as developed by the Ninth Air Force in the war of Western Europe.The Condensed Analysis contains a short history of the Ninth Air Force in World War II, from the build-up before the invasion of the European continent through subsequent combat operations in 1944 and 1945. More than a narrative history, the study examines the problems that Ninth experienced in conducting joint combat operations with ground forces across the rapidly moving battlefront in France and Germany. Some of its recommendations were implemented after World War II, others involve issues we continue to struggle with today: The need for a theater level air headquarters, command and control of tactical air forces, the importance of air-ground cooperation (including the co-location of headquarters), and the absence of the capability to mount night and all-weather operations--the lack of a "real and effective 24-hour-a-day operation." In its comprehensiveness, the Condensed Analysis also touches aircrew training and rotation, air base defense organization, civil engineering support, intelligence--virtually every one of today's Air Force specialties.Since 1945 the Air Force has gone far in creating a modernized force structure with highly professional personnel. Yet many of the doctrinal problems identified during World War II are still with us today. A look back, therefore, can be a useful reminder of how such problems developed and how they might be solved.Chapter I - Introduction * Chapter II - A Critical Review of Ninth Air Force Operations * A.

Aerospace control includes ensuring air sovereignty and air defense of the airspace of Canada and the United States. Included in this anniversary edition of NORAS, is a timeline from the 1950s to the 2000s representing milestones within these decades. This illustrated book includes past NORAD Commanders and deputy Commanders along with the crests and shields and showcases facts about each of the domains that comprise NORAD --- Air Domain, Missile Domain, Maritime Domain, and Space Domain Included in this commemorative edition is a brief history about the "NORAD TRACKS SANTA" Program that began on 24 December 1955.

This book was released on 2015-03-16 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Command and Control for North American Air Defense, 1959-1963, is the third in a series of studies prepared by the USAF Historical Division Liaison Office (AFCHO) on command and control. This study discusses the issues and problems involved in centralizing authority and control over forces responsible for maintaining airspace vigilance in peacetime and combating any aircraft attack, as distinct from space (missile) attacks. Preliminary sections summarize the steps taken to remove the doctrinal and structural barriers which long served to dissipate the ability of air defense commanders to control their forces and trace conversion of the system from manual to semi-automatic operation. The main body of the study is concerned with the impact that the threat of missile attack had on aircraft defense command and control systems. A final section charts the likely course of future command and control developments as they appeared at the close of 1963. This study forms a part of the larger History of Headquarters USAF, Fiscal Year 1963. It is being published separately to make it more readily available throughout the Air Force.
