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.

Zweiunddreißig der wichtigsten Typen amerikanischer Eindecker im britischen Dienst werden in diesem Buch beschrieben und illustriert. Im Allgemeinen waren die \"amerikanischen Flugzeuge\" ausgezeichnete Flugzeuge, aber einige Typen galten als weniger gut im Kampf. Die North American Mitchell war wahrscheinlich der beste Allround-Bomber der Welt, schnell und schwer bewaffnet. Die Consolidated Coronado war das beste Patrouillen- und Bomber-Wasserflugzeug. Der einmotorige Torpedobomber Grumman Avenger war bei weitem das herausragendste Flugzeug seines Typs, und der taktische Transporter Douglas C-54 (DC-4) war die nützlichste Maschine seiner Klasse im Dienst.\u003cbr\u003eEinige andere Flugzeugtypen verdienen eine besondere Erwähnung. Das Wasserflugzeug Consolidated Catalina, der Tagbomber Douglas Boston III, der Nachtjäger Douglas Havoc II, der Patrouillenbomber Lockheed Hudson III und das Aufklärungsflugzeug North American Mustang. Alle leisteten in ihren spezialisierten Einsätzen hervorragende Dienste. Andere Typen, die zum Zeitpunkt des Schreibens mit dem größten Interesse und der größten Erwartung erwartet wurden, waren der Martin Marauder Tagesbomber und das Republic Thunderbolt Jagdflugzeug.\u003cbr\u003eDer Autor ist der Meinung, dass sich die amerikanischen einsitzigen Jäger im Großen und Ganzen als enttäuschend erwiesen haben, hauptsächlich wegen der schlechten Aufladung ihrer Motoren, die ihre Leistung in der Höhe schlecht macht. Sie waren auch nicht ausreichend bewaffnet und gepanzert. Als jedoch der Packard-Rolls-Royce Merlin-Motor in den Vereinigten Staaten in Stückzahlen produziert wurde, war er der Meinung, dass eine große Verbesserung eintreten sollte. Die älteren Typen gelten als nützlich für niedrige Offensivmissionen - sie fliegen als Jagdbomber im Nahen Osten und als Kampfaufklärer beim R.A.F. Army Co-operation Command.\u003cbr\u003eInteressanterweise hält der Autor die amerikanischen schweren Bomber wegen ihrer eher geringen Bombenlast - maximal 5.000 Pfund für die Fortress und 6.000 Pfund für die Liberator - ihren britischen Pendants unterlegen. Die neuen großen Boeing B-29 und Consolidated B-32 sollten diese Mängel beheben.\u003cbr\u003eIn der Zwischenzeit werden die amerikanischen Schwergewichte eine unschätzbare Arbeit auf der lebenswichtigen Atlantiklinie leisten; und für begleitete Tageslichtangriffe auf kürzere Entfernungen hat sich ihre .5-Zoll-Maschinengewehrbewaffnung im Einsatz als effektiv erwiesen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e71 Seiten - auf Englisch\u003cbr\u003eAbnutzungserscheinungen und vergilbtes Papier\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \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":42934247293098,"sku":"226OR1942EN","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6901\/4698\/products\/original_aab362fe-7777-4b3e-8743-07d668094d87.jpg?v=1652264621"},{"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.

Die taktische Luftversorgung Burmas unterstützte offensive Kampfhandlungen und den Bau der Ledo Road, während die Luftbrücke Hump direkt zum strategischen Ziel der USA beitrug. Trotz Stilwells hartnäckigem Engagement für die Ledo-Road als Hauptanstrengung zur Versorgung der Chinesen und für die notwendige Nutzung der taktischen Luftversorgung zur Unterstützung dieser und anderer Bodenoperationen in Burma, war der Schlüsselbeitrag zum Erfolg, China im Krieg gegen Japan zu halten, letztlich die strategischen Luftversorgungsmissionen über den Buckel. Diese Arbeit untersucht, wie die operativen Lufttransportbemühungen innerhalb des CBI (China-Burma-India) beide Bemühungen unterstützten und untersucht die Herausforderungen, Prozesse und die Entwicklung der Luftversorgung.

They conducted individual interviews with more than 1,000 combat-experienced pilots under official guarantee that statements made in the interviews would be used for research purposes only. Men flying single-engined aircraft were asked to pick .the two men (living or dead, regardless of rank) on whom they would most like to fly wing, and the two men they would least like to have flying wing on them in combat. Pilots of multiengined aircraft were asked to name the two men for whom they would most like to serve as copilot and the two they would least like to have as their own copilot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir answers did not ordinarily come in the single-sentence form used in the quotations cited in this booklet. Usually, the replies took the form of the following description of a wanted VF pilot:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"As a division leader, lie not only thinks for himself but is also exceptionally considerate of his wingmen. He is a good navigator and knows his position at all times so his section can concen¬trate on flying a good wing. He is conscientious in reading technical data and especially so in briefing before strikes, so that lie always knows exactly what is going on, planes involved, radio calls, etc. In combat he is aggressive but not foolhardy, and he never forgets the primary pur¬pose of the mission. He is very enthusiastic about flying. In his division he demands good air discipline, and I don't believe he ever lost a wingman.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn contrast, here is the description of a pilot who was not wanted in a dive-bomber squadron:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"He is an individualist who will not practice teamwork. Could never be depended on to do a job, inasmuch as he would perform erratic maneuvers all over the sky, when he should have been in a definite position at a definite time. At one time he flew directly into another wingman who was flying correct position. Both planes were demolished and both pilots narrowly escaped death. Recently he bailed out of a plane which, in the opinion of those who saw it, could have been safely landed. He has torn up two other aircraft besides these two. He has always abused his airplane. Time and time again he has exceeded engine-operation limits, stress limits, and overload.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe men interviewed supplied the names of about 2,000 wanted and approximately the same number of not wanted pilots; and they gave descriptions of each man named. There weren't 2,000 different names at the two ends of the scale, since many pilots were named as wanted—or as not wanted—by more than one person. Agreement in appraising men as very good or very poor ran high. At the same time, once a man had received even one vote as wanted, the chance of his ever getting a vote as not wanted was very small.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pilots who gave these descriptions employed approximately 10,000 identifiable reasons (about 3 reasons for each name on the average) in telling why they wanted or did not want a given man to fly with them in combat. Because they agreed very well as to what they wanted and did not want in the men flying with them, it was found possible to sort almost all of this material into less than two dozen pigeon¬holes. The titles of the pigeon-holes are given in the bold-faced type which heads the wanted and the not wanted quotations on the pages of this booklet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt should be said again that the reasons cited in these pages are those given by the veteran pilots. They are not the work of some self-styled \"expert\" who has never seen a shot fired in combat. Because the statements come straight from the men who have been flying against the enemy, they offer you your best chance to get the word as to what is really wanted in the combat area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"www.skyshelf.eu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47089139974470,"sku":"360OR1948EN","price":5.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6901\/4698\/files\/pilot_schoiceintern700x1000_c2f46248-fd23-4dd1-a404-9cd8b177ce38.jpg?v=1728509258"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.skyshelf.eu\/fr-de\/collections\/pays-usa-de.oembed?page=3","provider":"www.skyshelf.eu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
