This authoritative official history deals with the early years of the Air Force's effort to build and maintain a strategic striking force, from 1945 through 1953. It discusses the period of reorganization in national defense in the years after the end of the Second World War, as the Army Air Forces dealt with questions of structure, doctrine, strategy, atomic weapons, and technology. |

"Italian Aircraft of World War II" by Nico Sgarlato is one of the few published books dedicated solely to the topic of Regia Aeronautica (Royal Italian Air Force) aircraft during the Second World War. Therefore it is worth taking a look at. The book covers most of the major Italian aircraft of that conflict, ranging from fighters such as the Fiat CR 42, Fiat G 50, and Macchi MC 202, to bombers such as the Savoia Marchetti SM 79 and Piaggio P 108, to ground attack aircraft such as the Breda Ba 65, to reconnaissance aircraft such as the Fiat RS 14 and Caproni Ca 313/314. The book's biggest strength is its excellent illustrations, including a wealth of photographs, three-view line drawings, cutaway illustrations, and color plates for most of the aircraft. It also features detailed technical data for each aircraft discussed. Its biggest weakness is its text, which other than a brief introduction consists mainly of photo captions and thus does not capture the full technical development or operational history of any of the aircraft. Overall this book is a good start to understanding the Italian aircraft of WW2, but for the complete story one must look elsewhere. |

The aerial campaigns against North Vietnam were from the outset of the war conceived as exercises designed to interdict the flow of men and material into South Vietnam, or to discourage the enemy from continuing his sponsorship of war by destroying his industrial capacity to wage war. The political grounds upon which this policy was built were not concrete enough to allow the use of the maximum force available and, as a consequence, the results of the campaign were often less than completely satisfactory. |

Until the time of the Munich Conference in 1938, Armee de l'Air aircraft were uncamouflaged. Fighters were either overall Dark Green (Vert Emaillite) or bare metal; day bombers were Dark Green; night bombers Dark Brown (Chocolat). After December 1938, the French rapidly camouflaged their aircraft. At first a hasty coat of Middle Brown (Kaki) was applied to uppersurfaces. Light Blue Grey (Gris Bleu Clair) was later added to undersurfaces and still later patches of one or more of three additional colors (Dark Blue Grey, Dark Earth and Green: Gris Bleu Fonce', Terre Fonce'e, Vert) were added. In May 1939, painting was standardized with Dark Blue Grey replacing Middle Brown as the primary uppersurface color. French aircraft could carry up to three different sets of numbers. Constructor's numbers were a simple count of the unit's position in the production run. It was placed on the rudder along with manufacturer's name, code and occasionally type designation. Matricules were one letter and three number sets carried in large white characters under the wings. By Spring 1940 though, new planes were being delivered without matricules and those on older planes were being painted out. Individual aircraft numbers identified an aircraft's position within the Escadrille. Pre-war practice had numbers 1-12 for the first escadrille of a Groupe and 14-25 for the second, the numbers being placed on the vertical fin. There was, however, considerable variation in the system, with many colors and sizes of numbers, and even the use of Roman or Arabian (as opposed to Arabic) numerals confusing identification. After April 1940, an attempt was made to standardize on large white individual aircraft numbers placed on fuselage side next to the roundel, number 1-20 for the first escadrille and 21-40 for the second. |
