During the course of his research, he interviewed over a dozen pilots and crewmen who flew night missions along the Ho Chi Minh Trail and in North Vietnam.

Trentadue dei principali tipi di monoplani americani in servizio britannico sono descritti e illustrati in questo libro. In generale, gli \"aerei americani\" erano eccellenti, ma alcuni tipi erano considerati meno buoni in combattimento. Il North American Mitchell era probabilmente il miglior bombardiere medio a tutto tondo del mondo, veloce e pesantemente armato. Il Consolidated Coronado era il miglior idrovolante di pattuglia e bombardiere. Il torpediniere monomotore Grumman Avenger era di gran lunga l'aereo più eccezionale del suo tipo, e il trasporto tattico Douglas C-54 (DC-4) era la macchina più utile della sua classe in servizio.\u003cbr\u003eDiversi altri tipi di aerei meritano una menzione speciale. L'idrovolante Consolidated Catalina, il bombardiere diurno Douglas Boston III, il caccia notturno Douglas Havoc II, il bombardiere di pattuglia Lockheed Hudson III e l'aereo da ricognizione North American Mustang. Tutti hanno reso un servizio eccellente nelle loro missioni operative specializzate. Altri tipi che, al momento di scrivere, erano attesi con il massimo interesse e aspettativa erano il bombardiere diurno Martin Marauder e il caccia Republic Thunderbolt.\u003cbr\u003eL'autore ritiene che i caccia monoposto americani si sono rivelati, nel complesso, deludenti, soprattutto a causa della scarsa sovralimentazione dei loro motori che rende scarse le loro prestazioni in quota. Inoltre non erano sufficientemente armati e corazzati. Tuttavia, una volta che il motore Packard-Rolls-Royce Merlin fu prodotto in quantità negli Stati Uniti, sentì che ne sarebbe derivato un grande miglioramento. I tipi più vecchi sono considerati utili per le missioni di bassa offensiva - volando come cacciabombardieri in Medio Oriente e come esploratori da combattimento con il R.A.F. Army Co-operation Command.\u003cbr\u003eÈ interessante notare che l'autore considera i bombardieri pesanti americani inferiori alle loro controparti britanniche a causa del loro carico di bombe piuttosto leggero - un massimo di 5.000 libbre per il Fortress e 6.000 libbre per il Liberator. I nuovi grandi Boeing B-29 e Consolidated B-32 dovrebbero rimediare a queste carenze.\u003cbr\u003eNel frattempo, i mezzi pesanti americani faranno un lavoro inestimabile sulla linea vitale dell'Atlantico; e per gli attacchi diurni scortati a distanze più brevi, il loro armamento di mitragliatrici da .5 pollici si è dimostrato efficace in azione.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e71 pagine - in inglese\u003cbr\u003eusura e carta ingiallita\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":42934247260330,"sku":"226OR1942EN","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6901\/4698\/products\/original_901eb808-cf36-4bf4-bbae-fddb8d942c20.jpg?v=1652264619"},{"product_id":"supf-peter-luftwaffe-von-sieg-zu-sieg-1942-original-printed-edition","title":"Supf, Peter - Luftwaffe von sieg zu sieg (1942)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSupf, Peter - Luftwaffe vom sieg zu sieg (1942)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIm Deutschen Verlag\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e221 zt. im Deutsch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"www.skyshelf.eu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42934247620778,"sku":"70 DG 1942 DE","price":8.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6901\/4698\/files\/Gupf_P-LuftwaffevonSiegzuSieg_1-Copie.jpg?v=1730932306"},{"product_id":"a-batalha-da-inglaterra-1941-original-printed-edition","title":"A Batalha da Inglaterra (1941) (edição original impressa)","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Batalha da Inglaterra (1941)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinistério do Ar do Reino Unido\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUma brochura de 40 páginas publicada em Lisboa em 1941 pelo governo britânico para convencer a opinião pública portuguesa (Portugal era neutro!) da supremacia aérea britânica na Segunda Guerra Mundial.

It remained in service until 1962, and during the Second World War it was used not only as a training aircraft, but also as a light bomber, liaison aircraft, message carrier and seaplane.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePO-2\/U-2s were first used as light bombers on the southern front in August 1941, armed with four 50 kg bombs and, in many cases, with a machine gun. Early reports mention that on the Odessa front, naval personnel threw hand grenades.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThereafter, many regiments of light night bombers were formed. The crews were \"released\" into operation after about 15 hours of training. The manual stated that \"the aircraft must approach the front line at an altitude of 1,500 m. Then the pilot must \"shut down the engine\" to approach as quietly as possible and re-start the engine 300 m from the target.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the absence of sights, the pilots marked the wings with chalk so that they could aim \"approximately\". In addition, it was not uncommon to have the navigator climbing out of the cockpit and walk on the wing to untangle the wires that controlled the release of the bombs.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Soviet history has of course retained the female crews – “the night witches”, some of which distinguished themselves by flying up to 10 times a night (the airstrip was only 15 km from the front).\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe last light bombings by PO-2 were carried out by the North Koreans from 1950 to 1953. The first of these silent night raids took place on November 28, 1950, when a formation attacked the Pyongyang airport, destroying three American Mustang fighters of the 8th Reconnaissance Squadron.

Embauché par Euralair, il est d’abord copilote sur Cessna Citation, puis commandant de bord sur B-737. Il volera ensuite chez AOM et Star Airlines\/XL Airways sur DC-10, MD-83, A320 et A330. Détaché en tant que pilote-inspecteur à la DGAC, il termine sa carrière avec 17500 heures de vol et 3000 heures d’instruction et de contrôle sur simulateur.

La doctrine patiemment élaborée par des penseurs comme - entre autres -le général Pierre Gallois allait faire du Mirage IV la pierre angulaire de la politique étrangère de la France.

La doctrine patiemment élaborée par des penseurs comme - entre autres -le général Pierre Gallois allait faire du Mirage IV la pierre angulaire de la politique étrangère de la France.

Corporal McLoughlan once had a dangerous privilege. As a prisoner of war in a camp deep inside Germany, he watched a United States bombing mission as the enemy sees it.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNear Corporal McLoughlan's camp was a German airplane factory, busy turning out planes for the LUFTWAFFE. The Germans needed that plant—so one day the Eighth Air Force paid it a visit.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAfter Corporal McLoughlan returned to England, he described the bombing mission in these words:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"In two or three minutes—I give you my word for this-the factory had been flattened. Not a building except one shed was standing when the Americans went away. Everybody was thunderstruck by the whole thing. Every one of the bombs fell exactly inside the target area. It was perfection bombing.\" \"Perfection bombing\"—or what we call precision bombing—is the ultimate goal of the Army Air Forces. It is the offensive weapon with which we hasten the day of victory by knocking out the enemy's munitions and airplane plants, cutting off his supplies, and weakening the very source of his power.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe pictures on these pages show why precision bombing strikes terror to the heart of the enemy. Using precision methods, we can pick out the most important target-the one which the enemy needs most—and methodically destroy it. A formation of heavy bombers, dropping their bombs with deadly accuracy, can level any enemy war plant within a matter of minutes.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe success of precision bombing depends on many things. It depends on the famous air forces bombsight. It depends on the quality of our bombers, which are tough and durable and can fly all day. It depends on careful planning by intelligence officers who pick out the most vital targets, on operations and flak officers who can route the mission over the least dangerous course, on an elaborate system of traffic control which enables bombers and fighters to rise from scores of scattered airports, meet in the air, and proceed together to the target.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBut above all it depends on good crews: pilots who can handle the big ships smoothly, navigators who can steer a course to the pinpoint targets, bombardiers who can drop the bombs accurately—and gunners who can fight off any enemy planes which dare to interfere.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNo man in a bomber crew, or in the vast system of ground operations which puts the bomber in the air, can claim that he is more important than another. Precision bombing is a matter of teamwork, in which every man's work is crucial.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBut the gunner can feel honest pride—and a sense of grave responsibility—in the importance of his job. Now that the terrible striking power of precision bombing has been proven, the enemy is doing everything within his power to keep our missions from getting through. The enemy is concentrating on building as many fighter planes as possible, and sending them up with his best pilots to meet our bomber missions. And when fighters attack, only the gunner can beat them off.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRemember, as you start your course of instruction in gunnery, that all your training is designed for the day when you—and you alone—can fight off a fighter plane. In that moment, untold responsibility will lie in your hands: your own safe return, the lives of the other crew members, and the success of your bombing mission—which may be as important as any battle which has gone down in history.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLike all combat assignments, the gunner's job is dangerous. In every big air battle, planes are shot down—the enemy's and our own. It takes courage and good nerves to be a gunner, and it takes skill to be a gunner who wins all his fights.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlthough bombers travel together in formation for mutual protection, and enemy fighters team up to launch their attacks, in the last analysis air combat always boils down to two men shooting at one another—and the best man almost always wins.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn the long run everything is up to you. You will have to be a letter man than the enemy—who will be a pretty good man himself. In combat you will have to search the skies so closely that no enemy fighter can ever surprise you. You will have to take care of your equipment so well that it never fails, and know how to use it as well as you use your right arm. You will have to know how to aim; you can never afford to miss.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe best life insurance in combat flying is to know your job better than the enemy knows his. This is no idle sermon; it has been proven over and over again in the field.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs a gunner, you will use three tools: the machine gun, the sight for aiming it, and the turret in which it is mounted. If you are using a ring sight, your know-how will be a thorough knowledge of Position Firing—the improved new system of aiming at enemy fighters which has been developed through trial and error in combat and double-checked by the best scientific minds in the nation. If you are using a computing sight, you must have a thorough knowledge of its operation and what it can and cannot do.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYou will have plenty of time, in the classroom and in practice, to learn everything you need to know. Although gunners are being trained by the tens of thousands to provide crews for our new bombers—which come off the assembly lines with unbelieveable speed—our gunnery schools are doing an excellent job of individual instruction, and the teaching methods are constantly being improved.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis INFORMATION FILE will help you. In its pages you will find—for study, review, or reference—the facts that a gunner needs in combat. It begins with a section which contains all the information necessary to keep the machine gun working when you need it most. The manual then presents the rules of Position Firing—a successful way of aiming your gun, with a non-computing sight, to shoot down an attacking fighter. If you have done any shooting on the ground, the rules may surprise you, because firing from a moving bomber requires entirely different methods. But you will find them easy to learn. The INFORMATION FILE then discusses the various kinds of sights used on bomber guns and gives specific instructions for using each one. Finally, it tells how to operate every turret found in combat today.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSome of the training—for example, stripping down the machine gun—may seem complicated and monotonous at the start. But the training pays off. In combat, you will have to strip down and clean that gun every day. You may have to repair it in a bomber in the midst of an attack.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThere is no unnecessary theory in this book, or in the way your instructors will teach you these facts. Everything is practical; you will use every bit of it. It is your round-trip ticket into combat.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eH. H.

Au cours des années d'après-guerre, les capacités nucléaires émergentes de la nation ont mis l'accent sur le développement d'un programme de bombardiers. capables de délivrer l'arme atomique. Les besoins militaires évoluant  en Corée et en Asie du Sud-Est, il fallut revenir aux armes conventionnelles. Les nouvelles technologies ont continuellement engendré des modifications dans les systèmes d'armes. L'armée de l'air a adapté ses programmes de développement et modifié les avions de production pour leur confier de nouveaux rôles, de la reconnaissance stratégique aux opérations tactiques sur le théâtre de l'Asie du Sud-Est.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZoSNTMvgASE?si=m84TUa2tHfR1FA2L\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"www.skyshelf.eu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49014073852230,"sku":"617DG1988EN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6901\/4698\/files\/617DG1988ENSizeKnaack_Marcelle-USAFPostWarWWIIBombers1945-1973_01.jpg?v=1705165847"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6901\/4698\/collections\/bombardiers_175X275_ef965a2f-8ea8-4ccd-bbab-8ab5931e0f33.jpg?v=1653383744","url":"https:\/\/www.skyshelf.eu\/fr-nl\/collections\/bombardiers-it.oembed?page=3","provider":"www.skyshelf.eu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
