A complete rundown of the Luftwaffe's order of battle: its units, the aircraft they flew, its emblems (official and unofficial) numbersd and markings. A great compendium for flying enthusiasts of WW2. Before the war and during it, the Luftwaffe used, or adapted, virtually every one of its major front line aircraft type for all manner of essential support roles, be it within the ambulance, communications, headquarters or observer services. It also operated types dedicated to the support role. For Luftwaffe enthusiasts and modellers, the main interest in such aircraft lies in the wide variety of types, and the abundance of camouflage and markings suited to specific theatres, factory and field modifications, and lesser-known emblems. This book includes, for example, all-white Ju 52 ambulance aircraft, the famous Fieseler Storch observation aircraft in both desert schemes as well as winter schemes with skis etc, together with many lesser known types including helicopters. Serious Luftwaffe enthusiasts will find a wealth of detail about some of the more familiar types and some rarities which will be of particular interest. A selection of types featured include: Bucker Bu 181 Bestmann, Fieseler Fi 156 Storch, Flettner Fl 282 Kolibri helicopter, Focke-Wulf Fw 58 Weihe, Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor, Heinkel He 46, Heinkel He 111, Henschel Hs 126, Junkers Ju 52, Junkers Ju 88, Messerschmitt Bf 109 and Siebel Si 204. |

A mediados del año 1935, durante la presidencia de Agustín Pedro Justo, se produjo un gran debate parlamentario con interpelación a los ministros de Guerra, General de Brigada Manuel Augusto Rodríguez, y de Marina, Capitán de Navio Eleazar Videla, motivado en la aparente inseguridad en la actividad de vuelo que repercutía en la capacidad de proveer una adecuada respuesta a la Defensa Nacional. El debate que tuvo como principal impulsor y seguidor al diputado demócrata progresista Julio Argentino Noble, se había originado en una serie de accidentes de aeronaves tanto civiles como militares, entre los que se destacaban los aviones de fabricación nacional de la serie Aé.M.O./Aé.C denominados por aquella época "prototipos". Si bien el desarrollo de las sesiones permitió establecer que el nivel de seguridad aérea era simi-lar al de los países con mayor desarrollo aeronáutico, los temas relativos a la obsolescencia del material de vuelo militar y a la capacidad de disuasión creíble brindaron un marco apropiado para que los legisladores elaboraran un proyecto de ley tendiente al equipamiento de las fuerzas armadas con material aéreo acorde a los tiempos. |

In service with America's armed forces, accustomed to enjoying the fruits of world technological leadership, the McDonnell Phantom II fighter represented—for all its extraordinary angularity—an astonishing masterpiece of design ingenuity and commercial persistence. It moreover reversed the time-honoured, but hitherto apparently irreversible convention whereby naval air forces had had to rest content with deck-landing adaptations of aircraft primarily evolved for shore-based operation. Designing the aircraft from the outset for shipboard use by the United States Navy, and beaten in early competitive evaluation by design tenders from elsewhere, the manufacturers persevered in the belief that they in fact possessed a potential world-beater, and succeeded in producing not only by far the most potent naval fighter in the world but one whose performance and punch came near to eclipsing the most sanguine future tactical requirements of the land-based United States Air Force. That this phenomenon should occur during a period of relative peace in international affairs was also to some extent fortuitous, as previous experience had tended to support the theory that the greatest technological strides (and therefore those with least rrstraint placed upon them) came only to fruition during a state of war, or with the threat of such, and it enabled the United States Air Force to acquire a superlative and operationally flexible combat aeroplane in large numbers, at minimum realistic cost, in time to contribute a vital role in America's traumatic involvement in the Vietnam conflict. |

After the dust of World War II had settled, the military position of the UK was far from straightforward. It was of course allied to the USA and part of NATO, but it was at odds with the former in maintaining an Empire and the two nations also had competing oil interests in the Middle East. The UK's engagement in war after 1945 was thus a strange mixture ranging from homeland security through insular actions within the colonies or protectorates to preserve empire - to playing a major role in confronting the USSR. The types of active involvement of the RAF, Fleet Air Arm and Army Air Corps between 1945 and 1995 include the following, with examples. Maintaining Local Stability - Greece, Netherlands East Indies. Maintaining Empire - Malaya, Kenya. Defending Empire - Borneo. Defending Interests - Suez, Kuwait. Homeland Security - Northern Ireland, air defense. Confrontation - Berlin Airlift, Korea. Covert Action - Albania, strategic reconnaissance. Humanitarian and Peacekeeping- Jordan, Cyprus. Development of Deterrent - Bombs, bombers and missiles. |
