This book was released on 2017-12-10 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author subjects five case studies of interdiction, close air support, and strategic bombardment to rigid analysis. Dr. Gilster shows the relationship between the strike effort and target damage of several air campaigns during the Vietnam War. The purpose of this book is to fill that void by presenting a set of case studies that subject selected air campaigns during the Southeast Asia era to rigid economic analysis. The war in Southeast Asia lasted for nine long years and proved to be the most controversial of all US wars. This book presents five case studies conducted during that war involving three missions of air power--interdiction, close air support, and strategic bombardment. A major purpose of the book is to pull together these previously classified studies under one cover, set to a central theme based on lessons learned (and relearned) in Southeast Asia. To put the air campaigns in their proper historical context, however, a brief summary of US air participation in Southeast Asia should prove useful. Although US air units had participated in the war in Vietnam earlier, major air participation can be dated from congressional passage of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution in the fall of 1964. Soon thereafter, in early 1965, the US initiated Operation Rolling Thunder and began air strikes against North Vietnam. The campaign began with strikes against lines of communications targets just above the demilitarized zone between North and South Vietnam. Slowly the bombing campaign crept northward toward Hanoi and Haiphong, the major cities of the North, striking not only lines of communications but also petroleum, oil, and lubricants (POL), electrical power, and some industrial targets.Contents * FOREWORD * Chapter 1 * OVERVIEW * Air War Summary * Case Study Preview * Notes * Chapter 2 * AIR INTERDICTION IN PROTRACTED WAR--AN ECONOMIC EVALUATION * World War II to Southeast Asia * Air Operations in Southern Laos * Geography and Climate * Ho Chi Minh Trail * The Commando Hunt Campaigns * The Estimated Results * Observations * Notes * Chapter 3 * THE COMMANDO HUNT V INTERDICTION CAMPAIGN--A CASE STUDY IN CONSTRAINED OPTIMIZATION * The Objective Variable * The Inputs * The Production Function * Variable Input Costs * Economic Evaluation * Graphical Review * Notes * Chapter 4 * CLOSE AIR SUPPORT IN SOUTH VIETNAM, 30 MARCH-31 MAY 1972 * The Ground Scenario * US Air Buildup * Construction of the Model * Responsiveness of Air * Cumulative Impact of Air * Notes * Chapter 5 * LINEBACKER II--USAF BOMBING SURVEY * Bombing Results by Target Category * Railroad Yards * Storage Facilities * Radio Communications Facilities * Power Facilities * Airfields * Surface-to-Air Missile Sites * Bridges * Damage Summary * Release System Accuracy and Employment * Weather Constraints and Implications * Actual versus Predicted Target Damage * Comparisons by Target Category * Summary Comparison * Campaign Lessons * An Expanded Target List * Strikes against Enemy Defenses * All-Weather Bombing Capability * Strike Phasing * Strike Patterns * Single Manager for Air * Campaign Impact * Notes * Chapter 6 * ON WAR, TIME, AND THE PRINCIPLE OF SUBSTITUTION * Our Experience with Germany * Our Experience with North Vietnam * Some Comparisons * Notes

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive treatment of the air wars in Vietnam. Filling a substantial void in our understanding of the history of airpower in Vietnam, this book provides the first comprehensive treatment of the air wars in Vietnam. Brian Laslie traces the complete history of these air wars from the beginning of American involvement until final withdrawal. Detailing the competing roles and actions of the air elements of the United States Army, Navy, and Air Force, the author considers the strategic, operational, and tactical levels of war. He also looks at the air war from the perspective of the North Vietnamese Air Force. Most important for understanding the US defeat, Laslie illustrates the perils of a nation building a one-dimensional fighting force capable of supporting only one type of war. ,

Book excerpt: This highly selective bibliography supplements the original bibliography developed in 1978 by Ms. Betsy C. Kysely, to support the Eighth Military History Symposium While this bibliography focuses primarily on materials published since the earlier bibliography was developed, it does include some significant materials that were published prior to 1978, but that were omitted from that edition. Emphasis in this supplement is on scholarly analysis of air power itself and scholarly depictions of its history. Like most editions of the United State Air Force Academy Directorate of Libraries' publication, Special Bibliography Series, this compilation is limited to current holdings of the Academic Library at the Academy. It includes books, reports, government documents, and journal articles. Excluded are pictorial works, newspaper articles, works of fiction, studies of the technology of aircraft and associated weaponry, and items focused on the general history of aviation. Readers wanting information on the history of aviation, certainly prior to the Wright Brothers, are encouraged to consult the U S. Air Force Academy Friends of the Library publication, The Genesis of Flight: The Aeronautical History Collection of Colonel Richard Gimbel.
