The four years between 1941 and 1945 were years in which the nation raised and trained an air armada and committed it to operations on a scale unknown to that time. With Courage: The U.S. Army Air Forces in World War II retells the story of sacrifice, valor, and achievements in air campaigns against tough determined adversaries. It describes the development of a uniquely American doctrine for the application of air power against an opponent's key industries and centers of national life, a show more doctrine whose legacy today is the Global Reach - Global Power strategic planning framework of the modern U.S. Air Force. The narrative integrates aspects of strategic intelligence, logistics, technology, and leadership to offer a full yet concise account of the contributions of American air power to victory in that war. show less
Two air force historians tell the story of aviation in question and answer format, from ancient times to the latest developments including present-day air travel and vertical take-off craft. The book appears in the 1001 Questions series.
This booklet was published as part of a series on the Korean War, but is really a general look at the integration of blacks into the Navy which reached a highpoint during the Korean War. This is the official Navy viewpoint, and includes numerous official photographs of African American barrier breakers as well as a discussion of the Fahy Committee and the Navy's response to the committee's recommendations.
Battlefield history with photographs and maps. Includes a two page special section on "Women Marines." Also contains interesting material on the Peace Talks and POW exchanges.
