This book was released on 2018-02-24 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Transit Department for the Year Ending December 31, 1926 Some of the former passengers using the steam railroad desired the continuance of railroad operation between Harri son Square and Shawmut Junction, during the construction of the new road. To give such a service would have been difficult, dangerous and expensive. It would involve the tear ing down and removal. Of many dwellings, the dispossession of about fifty families, and the slicing of several hundred parcels of abutting land. This would increase the cost over a million dollars and delay the entire project over a year. Counts made in July, 1926, showed the average daily num ber of passengers to be affected by the discontinuance of serv ice to be but 789 or less than 100 per train. Investigation of transportation conditions brought out the fact that there were no points in this district that did not have reasonable access to street car or bus service. Against the desire of less than 800 passengers for a tempo rary railroad service was placed the urgent need of promptly supplying rapid transit facilities for the passengers passing twice each day through Andrew Station. Arrangements were made by the New York, New Haven Hartford Railroad Company for abandoning service from Fields Corner, Shawmut, Ashmont and Cedar Grove stations, and for substitute service from Mattapan, Central Avenue, and Milton Stations to Boston by way of Neponset Junction. On July 8 _a petition was filed with the Department of Public Utilities for approval of these changes. On August 3 a public hearing was given and on August 23 the petition was approved. On September 4 the railroad service between Cedar Grove and Fields Corner was discontinued. In the meantime plans had been drawn, contracts let and orders placed, and on the very day railroad operation ceased the Department began the work of reconstruction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Logistics in World War II: Final Report of the Army Service Forces is the after-action report of the vast logistics undertaking by the ASF headquarters both in the zone of interior and in distant theaters during World War II, considered to be a logistician's war. Long out of print, this facsimile edition covers what was done, how it was done, the problems and their solutions, and the successes and failures, ending with key lessons for future application. The report provides insights into methods and practices to achieve logistics readiness, and serves as an invaluable reference source for those researching the logistical dimension stretching from the factory floor to the foxhole. ARMY SERVICE FORCES, known as the Services of Supply until 12 March 1943, was responsible for administrative, supply (including procurement), and service activities for the War Department as a whole. With its creation, Army logistics was put on what promised to be a businesslike footing.
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.
