 Bombardment 1999 NATO criminals or liberators?【電子書籍】[ Gordan ?unar ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The main objective of this book is to see what actually led to NATO's bombing of Milosevic's Serbia and to see whether the attacks were a crime or not. The story is seen through the eyes of a young Serb who was only nine years old when the bombing happened. For many Serbs it was considered an aggression against their country and nation by Western forces. For the other part of Serbia's people, smaller part, it was a consequence of Milosevic's destructive politics that caused four wars on the Balkans in the nineties. The bombing to them was just a logical way of stopping this tyrant of destroying lives of Serbs as well as non-Serbs on the territory of former Yugoslavia.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 438円 |
 The Enemy Objectives Unit In World War II: Selecting Targets for Aerial Bombardment That Support The Political Purpose Of War【電子書籍】[ Major Brian P. Ballew ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In June of 1942, Eighth Air Force deployed to the UK and began preparation for a bombing campaign. However, during the initial planning efforts it became apparent the staff lacked the expertise needed to analyze and recommend bombing targets. Colonel Richard Hughes, the Chief Planner for American Air Forces in Europe, recognized this deficiency and requested a team to assist with target selection. The Enemy Objectives Unit (EOU), a team of civilian economists, began arriving in London in September 1942 to support the Eighth Air Force.＜br /＞ While formally assigned to the US Embassy in London, for practical purposes the team worked for Colonel Hughes. Using their economic expertise, EOU members studied the German industrial complex to identify vulnerabilities and then recommend to planners and senior leaders those industries the US Strategic Air Forces in Europe should target. Taking an effects-based approach, the team sought to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of US airpower to produce the greatest effects on Germany's war economy.＜br /＞ The EOU's target selection methodology required intelligence data on enemy targets, an awareness of United States Army Air Forces bombing capabilities, and most importantly an understanding of military and political aims. To ensure selected targets aligned with military and political aims, the EOU regularly collaborated with air planning staffs and senior leaders. Three case studies highlight the interaction and collaboration that occurred between the EOU and Army Air Forces planners and leaders: prioritizing targets for Operation POINTBLANK, development of an Oil Plan following "Big Week" in Feb. 1944, and the recommendation to strike bridges versus marshaling yards prior to Operation OVERLORD. Each of these case studies demonstrates that the integration and cooperation between the EOU and air force leaders and planning staffs ensured that targets selected for aerial bombardment supported political and military objectives.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 142円 |
 Case Studies in Strategic Bombardment【電子書籍】[ R. Cargill Hall ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This volume, the third in a series of historical case studies of important air power missions, addresses the most controversial (and arguably most significant) air power mission of allーstrategic bombardment. The ability of aircraft and missiles to destroy or disrupt an enemy's war-making potential and to break or weaken his will to resist, independent of the actions of ground and naval forces, has served as the central theme of air power theory and as the rallying point of air advocates, who made it the raison d'?tre for independent air forces. Written by well-known military historians, each chapter stands alone as a case study of an important stage in strategic air operations; combined, the chapters provide a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the theory and practice of strategic bombardment from its inception in World War I through the Gulf War of 1991.＜br /＞ From "Boom" Trenchard and "Billy" Mitchell to John Warden and Charles Horner, the vision of air power prophets and airmen is tested against the reality of bureaucratic inertia, aircraft capability, technological advances, and bombing accuracy. Seldom in the twentieth century has technology fully met the demands of air power theory. Technology, of course, is the prime determinant of doctrine and operations. This exceptional volume surveys the entire history of strategic bombardment and its technology, from the Zeppelin and Gotha of the Great War to the F-117 and the penetrating precision guided bomb of the Gulf War. The reader will find technological advancesーsuch as radar bombing and range-extending air-to-air refuelingーthat answer one problem only to produce new requirements and expectations that demand more advanced technology. Guided munitions, while offering remarkable precision, have underscored the problems of strategic intelligence collection and dissemination, and of locating and attacking both fixed and mobile targets.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 721円 |
 A Chapter of Adventures (Illustrated) Through the Bombardment of Alexandria【電子書籍】[ G. A. Henty ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞A Chapter of Adventures:＜/strong＞＜/em＞ (“Chapter” in this case means a series of related events.) Jack Robson, the 14-year old son of a widowed mother, lives on the English coast in a small village between Plymouth and Yarmouth. He works on one of many small coast-fishing boats called bawleys. Bawleys are normally crewed by two men and a boy. When Jack plays a pivotal role in saving passengers of a grounded sailing ship, he come to the attention of a ship owner, who places him as an apprentice on board one of his ships. In the company of two of his fellow-apprentices he is left behind at Alexandria, in the hands of Egyptian troops who have revolted. Jack is present through the bombardment of Alexandria and the riot and blood-shed that accompanied it.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞George Alfred Henty＜/strong＞ (8 December 1832 ? 16 November 1902), was a prolific English novelist and a special correspondent. He is best known for his historical adventure stories that were popular in the late 19th century.

 The Late Heavy Bombardment Begins on Tuesday【電子書籍】[ Anders Flagstad ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞You know, you don't always have to open a gift. You can just leave it lying there and walk away. You can. Especially if the gift reeks of garlic, is made of greasy, sweating rubber and has lips. Then you absolutely should. You should walk,maybe even run away. As fast as you can. You may just have an LHB on your hands. That's Alfred Pilger's advice to you, given FREE OF CHARGE. Not something Alfred does often. But hey! He's in a generous mood. It is his birthday after all tomorrow. And Alfred's very experienced now (unfortunately) in the whole garlicky, greasy lips, leaving-a-gift-lying-there business. He's experienced, because he didn't. He didn't leave his gifts lying there. Bad Alfred. Yes, once Alfred's life was bliss. He lived alone, saved money, had a mortgage, did his job, exercised, ate right, took his vitamins and flossed. His life was, in his own words, perfect. It was perfect because he'd crafted it that way - the maximum of peace with the of minimum of pain. Perfect. Until he started opening gifts.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 150円 |
 Case Studies in Strategic Bombardment: World War II, British and American Air Offensive, Atom Bomb, Pacific, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War, Doctrine, Planning, Operations, From the B-17 to the B-2 Bomber【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction, this unique USAF publication addresses the most controversial (and arguably most significant) air power mission of all ー strategic bombardment. The ability of aircraft and missiles to destroy or disrupt an enemy's war-making potential and to break or weaken his will to resist, independent of the actions of ground and naval forces, has served as the central theme of air power theory and as the rallying point of air advocates, who made it the raison d'etre for independent air forces. Written by well-known military historians, each chapter stands alone as a case study of an important stage in strategic air operations; combined, the chapters provide a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the theory and practice of strategic bombardment from its inception in World War I through the Gulf War of 1991.＜/p＞ ＜p＞From "Boom" Trenchard and "Billy" Mitchell to John Warden and Charles Horner, the vision of air power prophets and airmen is tested against the reality of bureaucratic inertia, aircraft capability, technological advances, and bombing accuracy. Seldom in the twentieth century has technology fully met the demands of air power theory. Yet in each era a practitioner of the art appears, such as Harris, Spaatz, LeMay, or Horner, who in some measure modifies prevailing doctrine and stretches the paradigm of his time and circumstances to achieve extraordinary results. Technology, of course, is the prime determinant of doctrine and operations. This exceptional volume surveys the entire history of strategic bombardment and its technology, from the Zeppelin and Gotha of the Great War to the F-117 and the penetrating precision guided bomb of the Gulf War. The reader will find technological advances ー such as radar bombing and range-extending air-to-air refueling ー that answer one problem only to produce new requirements and expectations that demand more advanced technology. Guided munitions, while offering remarkable precision, have underscored the problems of strategic intelligence collection and dissemination, and of locating and attacking both fixed and mobile targets.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This volume also examines the changes in the public's perception of strategic bombardment. The exaggerated fears of a "knockout blow" and near total destruction bruited about before World War II gradually were replaced by a general acceptance of area bombing and contemporary satisfaction at the casualties inflicted on the foe during the war itself. That public tolerance evaporated soon after the appearance of the atom bomb. The ever-present threat of a civilization-ending global nuclear war continued for another forty years and made the B-52 bomber and intercontinental ballistic missile both symbols of ultimate destruction and potent tools of nuclear stability. Indeed, public acceptance of combat casualties for both friend and foe has steadily declined in the latter half of the twentieth century. If the World War II bombing of Berlin and Tokyo resonated favorably with public opinion at the time, changing attitudes by the 1990s would never have condoned such an approach to the Gulf conflict.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Finally, later chapters in this volume consider some of the most significant missions and accomplishments of the United States Air Force during the Cold War. They examine the actions and events associated with strategic air power that helped repel or deter communist aggression and protect the vital interests of Western democracies throughout the world. The U.S. Air Force's commitment to strategic air power has been consistent and seamless since the days of the B-17 to the era of the B-2. Through the development and elaboration of strategic air warfare capabilities and thought, it has created a modern world in which global air power will be the strategic instrument of choice for power projection and presence in the twenty-first century.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,060円 |

 The Original Hell's Angels: 303rd Bombardment Group of WWII【電子書籍】[ Valerie Smart ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞During World War II, there was a famed B-17 aircraft named Hell's Angels. The men who worked together to keep the plane flying over Hitler's occupied Europe, those of the U.S. Army Air Force's 303rd Bombardment Group, were the first in the 8th Air Force to complete twenty-five missions from their base in Molesworth, England. These men, or "Hell's Angels" as they became known, went on to complete forty missions without ever turning back to base for mechanical failure of the plane. In The Original Hell's Angels: 303rd Bombardment Group of World War II, you will take an exciting historical journey to meet these men and to experience the total forty-eight missions they flew without having a member wounded or killed before the plane and members of its crew were commissioned to return to America for a war-bond tour. Also, you will learn how the entire 303rd became known as Hell's Angels, the first heavy bombardment group to complete three hundred missions from American air force bases in England.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,878円 |
 Sunday Punch In Normandy - The Tactical Use Of Heavy Bombardment In The Normandy Invasion [Illustrated Edition]【電子書籍】[ Anon ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞[Illustrated with 5 photos and 7 maps]＜br /＞ Originally published shortly after key air campaigns, the Wings at War series captures the spirit and tone of America's World War II experience. Eyewitness accounts of Army Air Forces' aviators and details from the official histories enliven the story behind each of six important AAF operations.＜br /＞ Sunday Punch in Normandy focuses on the all-important invasion of Normandy, on June 6, 1944, forever remembered as "D-Day." Just before dawn, wave after wave of Army Air Forces heavy bombers targeted the beach areas to make way for the assault troops. The pilots encountered virtually no air opposition, because the massive Allied air superiority effort had been brilliantly planned and well-orchestrated.＜br /＞ This short study describes in detail the close cooperation among the Allies in formulating the D-Day plan. A final section on operations gives a chronology of the interdiction missions flown by Eighth Air Force fighters and bombers.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 142円 |
 Horrendous Military Strategies In Israel-Hamas War: Is Demolition Bombardment An Acceptable Military Strategy? Is Deterrence An Effective Weapon? What Constitute War Crimes?【電子書籍】[ Terry Nettle ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In the latest Israel-Hamas war in 2023, deterrence is the hidden word in the fiercely avowed Israeli objective to erase Hamas from the face of the earth - the logic is to deter future Palestinian rebellion and attack. This is manifested in the horrendous and relentless bombardment of Gaza, killing up to 15,000 Palestinians in just 6 weeks, with almost half being women and children.＜/p＞ ＜p＞And all this was to avenge the death of 1,200 in Israel from the Hamas 10/7 surprise attack into Israel? All this to deter future attacks on Israel?＜/p＞ ＜p＞Or this was simply to punish the Palestinians for their "trespasses" against Israel?＜/p＞ ＜p＞In any case, which is more abhorrent? The terrorist attack that killed 1,200? Or the revenge massacre of 15,000, and counting, with an incredibly overwhelming military force and relentless bombardment?＜/p＞ ＜p＞In criminal law, a premeditated killing is a murder. But a revenge killing of the murderer is a murder too. This is exacerbated if the revenge killing is extended to the killing of the family and friends of the murderer. Pleading of self-defence is not an acceptable defence in such criminal cases.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The world will have a far better chance for global peace if all nations and peoples focus on cooperation instead of deterrence.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The world will be a better place if humankind firmly reject vengeance and revenge, and reject the use of overwhelming military force to win at all costs.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 600円 |
 Nijmegen Bombardment On 22 February 1944: A Faux Pas Or The Price Of Liberation?【電子書籍】[ Joris A. C. van Esch ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞A steadfast misbelief in precision bombing evolved into the leading concept for US Army Air Force during the Second World War. This concept envisioned the destruction of the German industrial and economic system as the swiftest path to victory. However, the belief in survivability of bombers through self defense proved incorrect, and the Allies realized that the Luftwaffe had to be defeated first, by attacking the German aircraft industry. On 22 February 1944, Eighth Air Force conducted a mission as part of this offensive. During this mission, the bombers were recalled because of severe weather. On the return trip, the airmen decided not to abandon the mission outright, but to attack targets of opportunity. Because of navigational errors a section of 446 Bombardment Group misidentified the Dutch city Nijmegen as in Germany, and bombed it. Due to aiming errors, the greater part of the bombs missed the designated marshalling yards by a kilometer, and hit the city center instead. The bombardment caused chaos on the ground. It surprised the citizens, ignorant by earlier faulty alarms, and damage caused great difficulties for the provision of aid relief. As a result, the bombardment killed about 800 citizens and destroyed the historic city center.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 142円 |

Air Corps Tactical School Graduates, by Class, 1920-1940＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the 1930s the Air Corps Tactical School at Maxwell Field, Alabama, was the birthplace and nurturing ground for American air doctrine. The work undertaken at the school became manifest in the skies over Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Pacific in the Second World War. Those who studied and taught there were the same individuals who prepared America for war, and then led its airmen into combat. This band of men spawned and shaped the independent United States Air Force in the postwar era. Their influence is still felt today, for they developed the airpower doctrines and institutions that enabled the United States to prevail in the Cold War. Their strategic vision, evolved from the thoughts of Douhet, Mitchell, and Trenchard, is now embodied in the Air Force's notion of Global ReachーGlobal Power. The legacy of the Air Corps Tactical School continues on with the comprehensive programs of the Air University, the world's premier airpower training institution. From flight within the atmosphere to flight within space, American airmen fly their missions based on principles enunciated in the lecture halls of Maxwell Air Force Base.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 956円 |
 The Development of Military Night Aviation to 1919: Emergence of Night Bombing, Tactical and Strategic Bombardment, Foundations of Night Fighting, Reconnaissance, Voisin, Breguet, Sopwith, Caproni【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This excellent report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction. This study examines the development of military night aviation from its origins through the First World War. Emphasis is on the evolution of night flying in those countries which fought on the Western Front, namely France, Germany, Great Britain, and the United States. While night flying occurred in other theaters the most intense air effort was clearly in the west. There belligerents pressed aviation technology and tactics to the limits; the skies of northern France and Flanders offered the only opportunity for movement across the stagnated front. Another important consideration was the availability of a rich documentation concerning night aerial activity in the theater.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A striking disparity quickly became evident during preliminary investigations of the topic. Surprisingly no single book-length study was uncovered which was dedicated exclusively to night flying along the Western Front. This thesis seeks to reduce the existing gap in scholarly knowledge. To appreciate the rapid development of night military aviation during the Great War one first needs to understand the state of night flying prior to August 1914. Numerous aeronautical journals of the period offer articles exploring the technical problems associated with night flight. Additionally the New York Times provides a useful but more general day-to-day account of the evolution of flying during darkness. Source material for the war period is quite extensive.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Chapter 1 - NIGHT AERONAUTICS TO AUGUST 1914 * Chapter 2 - THE EMERGENCE OF NIGHT BOMBING, 1914-1916 * Chapter 3 - TACTICAL NIGHT BOMBARDMENT * Chapter 4 - STRATEGIC NIGHT BOMBARDMENT * Chapter 5 - THE FOUNDATIONS OF NIGHT FIGHTING * Chapter 6 - NIGHT OBSERVATION AND RECONNAISSANCE * Chapter 7 - MEN AND MATERIEL FOR NIGHT FLYING * CONCLUSIONS * BIBLIOGRAPHY＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,049円 |
 THE PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF COMBAT STRESS EXPERIENCED BY THE HEAVY BOMBARDMENT CREWS OF THE EIGHTH AIR FORCE DURING WWII【電子書籍】[ Anthony Cardo ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The Physiological and Psychological Effects of Combat Stress Experienced by the Heavy Bombardment Crews of the Eighth Air Force during WWII offers a unique window into the effects of combat stress as experienced by a select number of men in a select moment of time and one that is unlikely to be experienced again by mankind.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is not to say that future combat aviators will not experience the unique effects of combat stress, as this is nearly a given (as the record of man's wartime experiences shows) but that the unique environment the men of the Eighth Air Force experienced will likely not be repeated to the same degree going forward.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With that being the most likely case, author and military historian, Anthony Cardo, seeks to also explore what the experiences of the heavy bombardment crews of the Eighth Air Force with the physiological and psychological effects of combat stress have to offer posterity and aims to inspire the reader to ask for themselves what these experiences have to offer posterity.＜/p＞ ＜p＞What this work is not is a clinical study on the bomber crewmen, nor is it meant to be an exhaustive study on the subject. Instead, it is meant to add to the historical discussion by categorizing some of the various physiological and psychological symptoms of combat-induced fear and providing commentary on its significance and relation to the wider literature on the effects of combat stress on human beings.＜/p＞ ＜p＞If the work succeeds in fueling your interest or curiosity on the topic and propels you into further research, then it has at least succeeded in its overall goal: to both raise awareness and the discussion on the topic. I hope you enjoy it as I enjoyed both researching and drafting this work.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,368円 |
 Kenneth N. Walker: Airpower's Untempered Crusader - World War II Bombardment Advocate, Medal of Honor【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The same traits of character that marked Kenneth N. Walker's life led to his premature death. His most dominant characteristic, an inner drive that kept him at a fever pitch of intensity, was formed during a hard childhood. He joined the US Army in 1917 at age 19. Until 1928, his career was sound but unexceptional. He found his professional stride as a student at the Air Corps Tactical School in 1928-29, when he embraced the concept of the invincible bomber and made it his crusade. He served as bombardment instructor at the school from 1929 to 1934. Walker's years at the Air Corps Tactical School were critical years in the development of US air doctrine. In that processーan intellectual process that had to be primarily theoretical because experience was so limitedーWalker advocated bombardment as the means through which airpower in the future would be expressed. He did extensive work on bomber tactics and plane development, the goal of which was to make the bomber capable of defending itself as well as carrying out its offensive mission. Since he envisioned defense against an enemy's air force being accomplished by bombers that would destroy the enemy's planes and facilities on the ground, he saw little value for the pursuit (fighter) arm.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Although the phrase was first voiced by others, Walker became identified with the credo, "The well-organized, well-planned, and well-flown air force attack will constitute an offensive that cannot be stopped." He believed it so fervently and advocated it so vehemently that his very conviction seemed to overcome the nagging doubts of others. Even his supporters agreed that he was "rabid" in his single-mindedness. Claire L. Chennault, his most vocal and visible opponent in the long debate on air doctrine, called him a radical with a blind spot. With limited technology, low appropriations, and an isolationist foreign policy also affecting decisions, the Air Corps moved inexorably toward a doctrine of strategic bombardment as the primary mission of an air force.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Chapter 1 - The Formative Years * Chapter 2 - The Spokesman for Bombardment * Chapter 3 - More Schooling and Command * Chapter 4 - Washington and AWPD-l * Chapter 5 - The Southwest Pacific and Fifth Bomber Command * Chapter 6 - Walker's Last Mission * Chapter 7- The Lingering Doubts＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 951円 |

 Bombardment, Public Safety and Resilience in English Coastal Communities during the First World War【電子書籍】[ Michael Reeve ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book makes the case for a unique coastal-urban experience of war on the home front during the First World War, focusing on case studies from the north-east of England. The use of case studies from this region problematises an often assumed national or generalised experience of civilian life during the war, by shifting the frame of analysis away from the metropolis. This book begins with chapters related to wartime resilience, including analysis of pre-war fear of invasion and bombardment, and government policy on public safety. It then moves on to a discussion of power relations and the local implementation of policy related to bombardment, including policing. Finally, the book explores the ‘coastal-urban’ environment, focusing on depictions of war damage in popular culture, and the wartime and post-war commemoration of civilian bombardment. This work provides a multi-faceted perspective on civilian resilience, while responding to a recent call for new histories of the ‘coastalzone’.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 14,585円 |
 Frank M. Andrews: Marshall's Airman - First Airman with Centralized Nationwide Command of Air Corps Bombardment, Advocate for Strong Airpower as the Principal Strategic Weapon in World War II【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction, this Air Force publication presents the story of an important airman of the past, General Frank M. Andrews, who was an inspirational figure in USAF history. "It is fitting that we highlight his accomplishments and contributions in the creation, shaping, and development of the United States Air Force. As the organizer and commander of the prewar General Headquarters (GHQ) Air Force, he was the first airman to have centralized nationwide command of Air Corps bombardment, attack, and pursuit units. The advent of GHQ Air Force marked one of the first decisive steps on the road to the birth of a separate air service. Nevertheless, likely due to his personal modesty and untimely death in a B-24 crash in, May 1943, while commanding the European Theater of Operations, he has been a background figure in our history. General George C. Marshall, wartime Chief of Staff of the Army, captured the magnitude of his tragic loss to the Allied war effort by characterizing Andrews as one of the nation's "few great captains."＜/p＞ ＜p＞In war nothing is so commonplace as sudden death. But when the victim is a high-ranking officer of recognized brilliance, his loss can be shattering and the ironies of what could have been linger amidst the engulfing emptiness of unfulfilled promise. So it was on the afternoon of May 3, 1943, when the B-24 Liberator in which Lt. Gen. Frank M. Andrews was flying crashed against a fog-shrouded promontory while making a landing approach to Meeks Field near Keflavik, Iceland. Andrews was commanding general of all U.S. forces in the newly formed European Theater of Operations (ETO). He had held his post for just three months, having arrived in England on February 4, the day after his fifty-ninth birthday. The decision to transfer him from his command of U.S. Middle East Forces had been approved by President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill, and the Combined Chiefs of Staff at the Casablanca Conference in January.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It was U.S. Army Chief of Staff Gen. George C. Marshall who had summoned Andrews to the conference from Andrews's headquarters in Cairo, Egypt. Privately, however, Marshall had previously informed Andrews of what was afoot, for between them lay a tacit bond of understanding and mutual appreciation that dated back to their first meeting in August 1938. At that time, Andrews was a temporary major general in his third year as Commander of General Headquarters (GHQ) Air Force, the combat arm of the Army Air Corps that had been established in 1935. Marshall, a permanent brigadier general who had once served as chief of staff to Andrews's father-in-law, Maj. Gen. Henry T. Allen, had just been appointed head of the Army General Staff's War Plans Division (WPD).＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 531円 |
 Nixon's Trident: Naval Power in Southeast Asia, 1968-1972 - Walleye TV-Guided Bomb, Naval Bombardment, A-6 Intruder, Air Operations in Laos, Mining Haiphong Harbor, Linebacker, Admiral Moorer, Tet【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction, this U.S. Navy publication is a history of the use of naval power in the Vietnam War from 1968 through 1972.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Introduction * Air Operations in Laos * Protective Reaction * Blunting the Easter Offensive * Mining Haiphong Harbor * The War Against the MiGs * Linebacker * Conclusion * Sidebars * Intruder * Admiral Thomas Hinman Moorer * From Thanh Hoa to Sarajevo * Walleye TV-Guided Bomb * Naval Bombardment: Into the Lion's Den＜/p＞ ＜p＞Although offensive bombing against North Vietnam officially stopped between 1968 and 1972, the United States conducted numerous "protective reaction" strikes against North Vietnamese air defenses when these defenses fired upon or otherwise threatened U.S. aircraft conducting aerial reconnaissance or passing over North Vietnam in transit to Laos. Over 1,000 protective reaction strikes were launched in 1970 alone. During one such operation in December 1971, 200 Air Force and Navy planes struck targets as far north as the 20th parallel (just 75 miles from Hanoi) in the biggest bombing raid of that periodーProud Deep Alpha.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The most intense year of the air war was 1972. During that year, North Vietnam launched a major attack that employed masses of regular ground troops, tanks, and artillery against South Vietnam. In the so-called Easter Offensive, the enemy hoped to crush the South Vietnamese armed forces and bring the war to a sudden, violent conclusion. Only a small number of Air Force fighter planes, a handful of Army and Marine advisors, and the Navy carriers in the Gulf of Tonkin were on hand to aid the South Vietnamese in stemming the Communist onslaught. In the end, naval air power proved vital in stopping the offensive because of the Navy's ability to concentrate carriers off Vietnam. In a matter of a few short weeks, the Navy's carrier presence in the Gulf of Tonkin jumped from two to six flattops. Navy aircraft flew the majority of strikes during the critical early days of the offensive. Navy surface ships also offered beleaguered South Vietnamese ground forces near the DMZ critical gunfire support against North Vietnamese armored columns moving down the coast.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Once the invasion was effectively halted, naval aircraft and warships carried the war to North Vietnam. During Operation Pocket Money (May 1972-January 1973), naval aviators mined Haiphong harbor and other major ports in North Vietnam. In Linebacker I (April-October 1972), Navy planes and warships resumed combat against North Vietnam and struck many formerly off-limit targets for the first time in the war. Naval aviators fought their most intense air-to-air duels with enemy MiGs during 1972, and warships braved fierce enemy fire to attack targets of significance along the North Vietnamese coastline, including targets in Haiphong. In all, enemy fire hit 16 U.S. Navy ships during 1972ーthe deadliest year of the war for the Navy's gunfire support force.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 956円 |

 Strategic Terror The Politics and Ethics of Aerial Bombardment【電子書籍】[ Beau Grosscup ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Presenting a global history of aerial bombardment, this book shows how certain European powers initiated aerial bombardment of civilians after World War I, and how it was an instrument of choice in World War II. Beau Grosscup shows that such methods, used initially as a means of terrorizing native populations in Africa and the Middle East, have become the primary form of terrorism in more recent decades.＜/p＞ ＜p＞While such 'strategic terror' is not classed as 'terrorism' in the West, this reflects an unwillingness to confront the human costs and immorality of aerial bombardment. Grosscup argues that if terrorism is to be diminished, the role of aerial bombing in sustaining global violence must be recognized.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 4,679円 |

The symposium examines the assumptions and effects of American and allied air power in all environments ー ground, sea, and air combat, and considers the roles played by intelligence and air mobility operations.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Korean War, the official history offices of the U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force and their respective historical associations collaborated to sponsor as comprehensive a symposium as possible, including as participants some of the coalition partners who contributed forces and weapons to the war. The intent of this symposium, titled Coalition Air Warfare during the Korean War, 1950-1953, was to focus not only on the contributions made by the armed forces of the United States, but also on those of America's allies. The diverse group of panelists and speakers included not only scholars with subject matter expertise, but also veteran soldiers, sailors, and airmen who had served in that conflict. It was hoped that the melding of these diverse perspectives would provide interesting, if sometimes conflicting, views about the Korean War. The symposium organizers designated an agenda of six specific panels for investigation, including Planning and Operations; Air Superiority, Air Support of Ground Forces; Air Interdiction and Bombardment, Air Reconnaissance and Intelligence, and Logistical Support of Air Operations. Each session began with commentary by the panel chairman, which was followed by formal papers, and in some instances included a lively question and answer session.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Session I - Planning and Operations * Wayne Thompson, Panel Chair/Moderator * Command and Control of Air Forces during the Korean and Persian Gulf Wars * Mark D.
