Авиационная техника в настоящее время настолько сложна и многообразна, что для ее обслуживания привлекается большое количество различных специалистов, без которых самолет не может быть выпущен в полет... Поэтому невозможно, конечно, в небольшой книге рассказать даже о некоторых, наиболее характерных особенностях работы каждого из специалистов, принимающих непосредственное участие в подготовке самолета к полету или входящих в состав его летного экипажа. Я поставил перед собой более узкую цель, а именно: по возможности подробней в пределах небольшого объема этой книги познакомить читателя с работой авиационного механика, с его правами, обязанностями и ролью, которую он играет в системе эксплуатации самолета и подготовки его к полетам...

The 20th century saw warfare taken to new extremes in two conflicts so vast they are called 'World Wars'. They not only changed the way society felt about war, but also the ways in which combat took place. The explosion of technology and social change that marked the 20th century applied to warfare as much as any other area. Looking back over a century of progress, "Military Uniforms" examines these changes and how they affected the clothes of the armed services, from World War I cavalry regiments with their brightly colored uniforms covered in gold braid, to the ultra camouflaged, high-tech super-warriors of today, as well as women's growing role in the Army and their uniforms. It is fascinating to imagine what directions uniforms of the 21st century will take.

The use of airborne weapons in combat characterizes armed conflict since the end of the 19th Century, and especially since the start of the 20th Century. Today the significance of airborne weaponry has grown to the point where it plays a decisive role in the outcome of armed and political crises. This book is dedicated to 100-anniversary from the first control humans' flight, aims to clarify the genesis of air power, uncover its essence, and trace the evolution in this term during certain stages of its currency. Official historiography, memoirs, and scientific papers form the base for research. Subject of the study is air power: how the term emerged, what was meant by it as it developed historically, how it influenced the formulation of doctrines for the utilization of air forces and national air potential as a whole, and how it made its debut in the years prior to 1914. The very new moment is a special part for creation of Air Power in Balkan countries and meaning of new components for the military operations in Balkan wars (1912-1913). The book seeks to contribute to further clarification of terminology and processes: a clarification which would assist a future streamlining in the development of national air potential on the road to integration into collective security systems. Ultimately, arrival at a uniform terminology, and its clarification and amplification are the first steps to genuine integration. The book is intended for historians and libraries, both military and civil, military officers and pilots, all lovers of the history of humans' flight and air power.

Covering both the ships and the planes they support, this convenient, authoritative handbook offers complete descriptions of carrier systems from all of the world's major navies—from their operational histories, strategic integration, and technological advancements, to the training of aircrew, the development of carrier command leadership, and the role of carriers as deterrents and diplomatic enforcers.
