Download or read book History of the 91st Aero Squadron written by George C. Kenney and published by Loose Cannon. This book was released on 1919-03-01 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Formed in August 1917, The 91st Aero Squadron was a United States Army Air Service unit that fought on the Western Front during World War I. The 91st was one of the first five American flying squadrons to arrive in France, arriving at Chaumont Aerodrome on 15 November 1917. This is a well written unit history, by one or several of the members still serving in Germany after the cessation of hostilities in November 1918. It details the personnel of the unit and a near-daily account of operations/missions and major offensives in France, plus their operations after the war in occupied Germany. It has several photographs taken by the unit themselves (but are very low-resolution unfortunately). It also includes a summary of unit statistics and accomplishments, a personnel list with origin and disposition of Officers and Men of the unit. Students of WW One history and those interested in early flying combat will find this volume to be just as jaunty, interesting and engaging as any similar era unit history of a fighter/pursuit group. It truly gives one a feeling for the trials, tribulations, and tragedies felt by these young American airmen so far from home.

Download or read book The U S Air Service in World War I Volume IV Postwar Review written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 1979 with total page 635 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the Armistice in 1918, Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, Chief of Air Service, American Expeditionary Forces, directed that a record be made of lessons learned during the war. This information, he believed, was needed for planning the Air Service of the future. The reports prepared by commanders, pilots, observers, and other members of the various Air Service units in response to General Patrick's directive are of considerable historical interest for the information they contain about the Air Service and its employment at the front. A select group of the reports on lessons learned make up Part 1 of this volume of World War I documents on U.S. military aviation. Part II is devoted to a report on the effects of Allied bombing in World War I. This long-forgotten document, the result of a post-war investigation by the Air Intelligence Section of General Headquarters, American Expeditionary Forces, is the counterpart of the well-known United States Strategic Bombing Survey of World War II.

Download or read book The Dieppe Raid written by Robin Neillands and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1942, a full two years before D-Day, thousands of men, mostly Canadian troops eager for their first taste of battle, were sent across the Channel in a raid on the French port town of Dieppe. Air supremacy was not secured; the topography of the town and its surroundings - hemmed in by tall cliffs and steep beaches - meant any invasion was improbably difficult; the result was carnage, the beaches turned into killing grounds even as the men came ashore, and whole regiments literally decimated. Why was the Raid ever mounted? Was the whole thing even, as has been darkly alleged, expected and even intended to fail, a cynical conspiracy to prove to the Americans, at the expense of so many Canadian lives, the impracticability of staging the Normandy landings for another two years? Robin Neillands goes behind the myths to tell what really happened, and why.

Download or read book Almanac of World War I written by David F. Burg and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2004-03-05 with total page 605 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A detailed day-by-day account of the war’s events, emphasizing the military dimensions but also touching on politics and diplomacy.” —Choice Almanac of World War I provides reports of the action on all fronts and of the events surrounding the conflict, from the guns of August 1914 to the November 1918 Armistice and its troubled aftermath. Daily entries, topical descriptions, biographical sketches, maps, and illustrations combine to give a ready and succinct account of what was happening in each of the principal theaters of war. This definitive book on the Great War by David F. Burg and L. Edward Purcell—coauthors of The World Almanac of the American Revolution—“captures the pathos and absurdity of the conflict in a way that few others have” (American Reference Books Annual). “Whereas most accounts of World War I zero in on the muddy trenches of the Western front, Burg and Purcell’s work puts that theater in the context of the larger war.” —Tallahassee Democrat “There is really nothing comparable to this volume.” —Booklist “Almanacs represent the final book(s) needed to complete a collection regarding a particular period in history. David Burg and L. Edward Purcell’s Almanac of World War I is such a book.” —BookLovers “A useful reference for the Great War.” —Paper Wars “This valuable reference book provides a day-by-day account of the First World War, with each entry divided geographically.” —Canadian Military History
