Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romance of Air-Fighting Now that thousands of Americans have enlisted in the Flying Corps, and other thousands are debating in their minds whether or not to follow their example, a few facts concerning the work of British flying men may prove of special interest. When the War began, flying was a side-line; with all its fascination, it appeared to most people to be of minor importance, compared with the traditional tasks of strategy and the problems involved in the employment of vast bodies of men. Is there anybody alive who still holds that view? "Minor importance," and the United States Government building 22,000 aeroplanes and arranging to spend on aviation the enormous sum of between six hundred and seven hundred million dollars! What is the truth of the matter? The flying men will win the War. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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progressive development of air power to the point where, today, it is more correct to refer to aerospace power has not outdated the notions of Douhet in the slightest In fact, in many ways, the kinds of technological capabilities that we enjoy as a global air power provider attest to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.

Download or read book Marked for Death written by James Hamilton-Paterson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-08-02 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dramatic and fascinating account of aerial combat during World War I, revealing the terrible risks taken by the men who fought and died in the world's first war in the air. Little more than ten years after the first powered flight, aircraft were pressed into service in World War I. Nearly forgotten in the war's massive overall death toll, some 50,000 aircrew would die in the combatant nations' fledgling air forces. The romance of aviation had a remarkable grip on the public imagination, propaganda focusing on gallant air 'aces' who become national heroes. The reality was horribly different. Marked for Death debunks popular myth to explore the brutal truths of wartime aviation: of flimsy planes and unprotected pilots; of burning nineteen-year-olds falling screaming to their deaths; of pilots blinded by the entrails of their observers. James Hamilton-Paterson also reveals how four years of war produced profound changes both in the aircraft themselves and in military attitudes and strategy. By 1918 it was widely accepted that domination of the air above the battlefield was crucial to military success, a realization that would change the nature of warfare forever.

Book excerpt: Even as a young boy Hank Koenig dreamed of piloting his own airplane. He first fell in love with flying when he and his mother watched a large group of barnstormers and airplanes flying above the airport of their small Illinois town. Ever since that day, he went to the airport whenever possible, and began taking lessons soon after. Koenig earned his pilot's license at the age of sixteen and landed a job as a commercial pilot, taking people for observation rides at the Starved Rock National Park. Soon he had enough to buy his own airplane, and continued his flying ventures through high school and college. But it was during the Korean War that Koenig had his chance to become a true fighter pilot. Since he was disqualified for medical reasons to serve in the U.S. military, he went to Canada and enlisted with the Royal Canadian Air Force. He went to Korea in 1953 and flew mainly P51 Mustangs and F86 jets. Koenig found himself in several dog fights and faced death more than once. Following his stint in Korea, Koenig came back to the United States and continued his love of flying. Honest and candid, this heartfelt autobiography tells the story of one man's love affair with flying.

Download or read book Fighting for Air written by Eric Klinenberg and published by Metropolitan Books. This book was released on 2007-01-09 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking investigative work by a critically acclaimed sociologist on the corporate takeover of local news and what it means for all Americans For the residents of Minot, North Dakota, Clear Channel Communications is synonymous with disaster. Early in the morning of January 18, 2002, a train derailment sent a cloud of poisonous gas drifting toward the small town. Minot's fire and rescue departments attempted to reach Clear Channel, which owned and operated all six local commercial radio stations, to warn residents of the approaching threat. But in the age of canned programming and virtual DJs, there was no one in the conglomerate's studio to take the call. The people of Minot were taken unawares. The result: one death and more than a thousand injuries. Opening with the story of the Minot tragedy, Eric Klinenberg's Fighting for Air takes us into the world of preprogrammed radio shows, empty television news stations, and copycat newspapers to show how corporate ownership and control of local media has remade American political and cultural life. Klinenberg argues that the demise of truly local media stems from the federal government's malign neglect, as the agencies charged with ensuring diversity and open competition have ceded control to the very conglomerates that consistently undermine these values and goals. Such "big media" may not be here to stay, however. Eric Klineberg's Fighting for Air delivers a call to action, revealing a rising generation of new media activists and citizen journalists—a coalition of liberals and conservatives—who are demanding and even creating the local coverage they need and deserve.
