Basically, two types of missions are conducted: defoliation of jungle foliage and destruction of crops in areas controlled by the Viet Cong (VC). Many factors have served to motivate these operations. Some of the more important considerations are the desire to eliminate enemy camps and secure areas (safe havens), to obtain better vertical visibility in heavily canopied jungle for the purposes of reconnaissance and interdiction, to minimize cover along transportation routes to prevent VC ambush, and to destroy trees and vegetation surrounding special forces bases and communication routes to aid in base security measures and to preclude sabotage of communication facilities. Crop destruction operations were undertaken with the hope of denying the Viet Cong valuable foodstuffs by destroying crops and food resources in the immediate area. This would force the enemy to move from place to place to obtain food and would not allow him time to perfect his camp defences or to develop long-range offensive programs. With these ideas in mind, the concept of using herbicides was proposed, tested, and put into operation in Southeast Asia.    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEARLY OPERATIONAL HISTORY : Deployment and Testing - Early Defoliation Operations - Early Crop Destruction\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEXPANDED HERBICIDE OPERATIONS: Project Sherwood Forest - Increased Fighter Support - Operations in Laos - Operations in the RVN - 1966 - Project Pink Rose   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCURRENT CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS -Types of Equipment -Command and Control - Missions and Tactics - Characteristics and Availability of Herbicides\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRESULTS AND EFFECTS - The VC Propaganda - Crop Destruction Effectiveness - Result of Defoliation - Effects on VC Morale - Effects on Civilian Populace\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e101 pages – in english\n  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"www.skyshelf.eu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42934202106026,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6901\/4698\/products\/original_3f799bb1-8e93-4e92-9e3e-30c3e7b3184b.jpg?v=1652263581"},{"product_id":"vought-corsair-f4u-1-pilots-handbook-for-navy-model","title":"Vought Corsair F4U-1 Pilots Handbook for Navy Model (ebook)","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally issued 15 October 1945, this is the revised edition released on 1 June 1946.

In a totally covert manner.\u003cbr\u003eSoon, the USAF felt the need to deploy a full combat unit, capable of operating as a stand-alone fighting force in the counter-insurgency environment of a foreign country. Furthermore, the entire unit, not just the aircraft, had to be prepared to operate under 'plausible deniability' cover. Operation Jungle Jim was born. It helped build Laotian air power and its forward controllers.\u003cbr\u003eIn 1964, in total disregard of the cease-fire agreement, the Pathet Lao and the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) committed numerous violations. One of the responses chosen was to place additional US military advisors in the five regional commands of the Lao army to improve the combat readiness of the Lao forces. Project 404 was the designated name for a variety of personnel programmes to strengthen the military attaché offices in Vientiane and to provide support for the administration of the US Military Assistance Programme (MAP) and other advisory projects. Project 404 circumvented the prohibition on US military personnel serving directly in Laos by seconding service personnel as \"assistant attachés\" within the embassy staffing structure. The author also refers to Operation 404 Palace Dog. In order to improve the efficiency of the Laotian Air Force, Air Operations Centres (AOCs) were created when each Laotian T-28 squadron started to work at its operation site. The 56th Special Operations Wing - created in Thailand - was called upon to operate intensively in Laos, among other things to monitor the traffic on the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Its helicopters and light aircraft deployed a network of several hundred seismic sensors to monitor movements as part of Operation Igloo White and Operation Dump Truck. The intelligence obtained played an important role in the defence of Khe Sanh.\u003cbr\u003eThe author explains, however, that efforts to infiltrate South Vietnamese special forces and hill tribes into the Plain of Jars to monitor North Vietnamese activities were not successful.\u003cbr\u003eA highly detailed account of dozens of complex and covert operations.\u003cbr\u003e518 pages - in English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QQ8GnDt_75Y\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"www.skyshelf.eu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42934226583722,"sku":"410DG2019EN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6901\/4698\/products\/original_7122ca56-b50b-4e4a-892c-1b17907ec431.jpg?v=1652264181"},{"product_id":"anthony-victor-tactics-and-techniques-of-night-air-operations-in-sea-1961-1970","title":"Anthony, Victor - Tactics and techniques of night air operations in SEA 1961-1970","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Air Force in South East Asia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTactics and techniques of night operations 1961-1970\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy Major Victor B.

Under Foulois’s direction, the men unloaded an automobile, six motorcycles, and twelve motor trucks, vehicles rare in 1916 New Mexico and even rarer in an army still wedded to the horse and mule. These were followed by wooden crates containing eight wood, wire, and fabric Curtiss JN–3 biplanes, every airplane owned by the U.S. Army, save those assigned to its aviation school at San Diego, California. The squadron was in Columbus to join an expedition commanded by Brig. Gen. John J. “Black Jack” Pershing. President Woodrow Wilson had ordered Pershing’s force into Mexico in response to a March 9 attack on the tiny border town by the Mexican desperado, Francisco “Pancho” Villa. The event was auspicious.

Arising from historical antecedents in the First  and Second World Wars, the specific technologies that made precision guidance a reality  in the late 1960s were, nevertheless, the unique product of concerted actions taken within  the U.S. military, the federal government, and civilian industry. Precision weapons did  not emerge as a natural consequence of technological change, but were consciously  constructed in response to the purposes, ethics, and values of American society.  Certainly, the creation of important enabling technologies, notably lasers and  semiconductor integrated circuits, played a decisive role in the development of these  advanced weapons.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, the emergence of guided weapons is inexplicable without  also considering America's evolving defence policy, the military doctrine that translated  that policy into specific weapon systems, and twentieth-century wartime demand, which  stimulated research and development by providing added urgency, requirements, and  resources.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEntering America's arsenal at the height of cold war tensions, PGMs provided  an appealing alternative to the largely impotent nuclear bombs and missiles that had  become the centrepiece of U.S. military strategy. Post-Vietnam military operations  highlighted a marked shift in emphasis away from mass destruction in favour of inflicting  precise, controlled damage.

Masefield, M.A., A.F.R.Ae.S.\u003cbr\u003eTechnical Editor of THE AEROPLANE and Editor of THE AEROPLANE SPOTTER.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the autumn of 1942, several thousands military aeroplanes of American design and construction were in service with the British Air Forces —the Royal Air Force, the Fleet Air Arm and the Air Forces of the British Commonwealth of Nations. Thirty-two of the chief types of United States monoplanes in British service are described and illustrated in this book. Taken in general, \"American aeroplanes\" were superlative flying Machines, but some types were considered less good as fighting machines. Nevertheless, four military categories of American aircraft were commended withbut reservation as the Best in World those days. The North American Mitchell was probably the World's best all-round medium bomber—fast and heavily armed. The Consolidated Coronado was the best patrol-bomber flying-boat. The Grumman Avenger single-motor torpedo-bomber was a long way the most outstanding carrier-borne aeroplane of its type and the Douglas C-54 (DC-4) tactical transport was the most useful machine of its class in service.\u003cbr\u003e Several other types may be singled out for special mention. The Consolidated Catalina flying-boat, the Douglas Boston III day bomber, the Douglas Havoc II night fighter, the Lockheed Hudson III patrol bomber and the North American Mustang scout. All have given excellent service on their specialised operational duties. Other types which, at the time of writing, were awaited with the greatest interest and the highest expectations are the Martin Marauder day bomber and the Republic Thunderbolt fighter.\u003cbr\u003e The author considers that American single-seat fighters have, on the whole, proved disappointing chiefly because of the low-supercharge of their motors which renders their performance poor at height. Nor have they been adequately armed and armoured. However, once that the Packard-Rolls-Royce Merlin motor achieved quantity production in the U.S.A., he tought a great improvement should result. The older types are considered useful for low offensive work—flying as fighter-bombers in the Middle East and as fighting scouts with the R.A.F. Army Co-operation Command.\u003cbr\u003eInteresting to note that the author considers the American heavy bombers fall short of their British counterparts by reason of their rather light bomb loads — a maximum of 5,000 lb. for the Fortress and 6,000 lb.for the Liberator. The new big Boeing B-29s and Consolidated B-32s -should remedy these\u003cbr\u003edefects. Meanwhile the American \" heavies\" will do invaluable work over that vital life-line, the Atlantic; and for shorter-range escorted day attacks their armament of 0.5-in. machine-guns has proved effective in action.\u003cbr\u003eMeanwhile large numbers of aircraft of the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy are being based in Great Britain. And so Airacobras, Fortresses, Coronados, Liberators, Kittyhawks, Bostons, Dakotas, Martlets, Lightnings, Marauders, Mariners, Mitchells, Mustangs, Thunderbolts and Vengeances, flown by American as well as by British crews, will become ever more common sights to their friends in the British Isles and to their enemies on the Continent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e71 pages - in English\u003cbr\u003eweared and tanned\u003cbr\u003emessage me for cheaper postage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dNqHENNmChU\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"www.skyshelf.eu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42934247424170,"sku":"226OR1942EN","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6901\/4698\/products\/original_d89baab4-f631-4878-8e07-aa17fa72c72c.jpg?v=1652264624"},{"product_id":"loening-grover-c-military-aeroplanes-1918-original-edition","title":"Loening, Grover C. - Military Aeroplanes (1918) (digital edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMilitary Aeroplanes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn explanatory consideration of their characteristics, performances, construction, maintenance and operation for the use of aviators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eby Grover C.

The tactical air supply effort to Burma supported offensive combat operations and the construction of the Ledo Road, while the Hump airlift directly contributed to the American strategic objective. Despite Stilwell's stubborn commitment to the Ledo Road as the main effort to supply the Chinese and to the necessary use of tactical air supply to support this and other ground operations in Burma, the key contribution to the success of keeping China in the war against Japan was ultimately the strategic air supply missions over the Hump. This thesis reviews how the operational airlift efforts within the CBI supported both efforts and examines the challenges, processes, and development of air supply.

In 1928, she became the first woman to cross the Atlantic, and then became the first woman to cross the Atlantic alone in 1932. She was then asked to give frequent public lectures.

With this radio show, she achieved her highest level of fame.\u003cbr\u003eThis speech, unusual in many ways, reflects her love of science and aims to involve women in it. She was known for encouraging women to reject restrictive social norms. When she was looking for a high school, Earhart rejected several until she found one with a science curriculum that suited her. In 1929, she helped found an association of female pilots, which became known as the \"Group of 99. She was its first president. In 1933, she launched a line of women's clothing designed for \"the woman who leads an active life\".\u003cbr\u003eBy the time she gave this speech, air travel had been around for about 15 years. The idea that women could fly, or pursue scientific studies, was very unusual. Yet she argued that women had a role to play in the advancement and use of science and aviation. This is a \"progressive\" vision, and the last point of her speech will come true, but only in times of war: \"And finally, there is a place in the (aviation) industry itself, for working women.\"\u003cbr\u003eWhile defending avant-garde ideas, the speech is very formal, normative and reasonable: at the time, aviation was a real \"social elevator\" and it was appropriate to convey this message to the American high bourgeoisie.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"www.skyshelf.eu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42934291759274,"sku":"021DG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6901\/4698\/files\/Earhart_Amelia-AWoman_sPlaceinScience1935-Copie.jpg?v=1778487240"},{"product_id":"douglas-dc-6a-and-dc-6b-description-and-operation-manual","title":"Douglas DC-6A and DC-6B Description and Operation Manual (ebook)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDouglas DC-6A and DC-6B Description and Operation Manual\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1955\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DC-6A and DC-6B series airplanes, built by Douglas Aircraft Co., Inc., are long-range, low-wing monoplanes with full cantilever wing and empennage, semi-monocoque fuselage, and fully retractable, hydraulically-actuated, tricycle landing gear.
