Davis-Monthan, or D-M as it is more commonly known, remained a municipal airport until 4 February 1941. when it was actuated as a military training base with the mission of training bombardment aircrews for the B-18Bolo.the B-24 Liberator and the B-29 Superfortress. During this period, from 1941 to 1942. the name was changed to Tucson Air Base. Then in 1942. the base was re-dedicated as Davis-Monthan Field and in 1948 the base was officially designated Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. When the Second World War ended. D-M training operations came to a standstill. Logistically all that remained active was a storage area for B-29s and C-47s. This area had been created by the San Antonio Air Technical Service Command immediately after V-J Day. There were two exceptional qualities that led to the decision to use D-M as an aircraft storage area. One was the very dry desert climate; the other was the soil. The soil, or caliche as it is called, is very hard and able to support the weight of an airplane. It is also an alkaline soil which aids in deterring corrosion. These factors led the USAAF to decide that Davis-Monthan was the perfect spot to store the thousands of aircraft returning from Europe and the Pacific. During the 1950s most of these surplus aircraft were sold for their aluminum. Scrappers lined the fences of the base with guillotines and smelting furnaces and America's once proud warplanes were reduced to aluminum ingots. |

Combat Troops Series Number 7. There seems to be something in the American character or way of life that views the very existence of elite armed forces with a great deal of suspicion. And while elite forces are used during a time of war, and indeed often glorified by the media their very existence is underlined in controversy. Both in and out of the military there is constant criticism, and indeed even pressure to dissolve any organization considered to be an elite force within any of the branches of service. Regardless of how this controversy is resolved in the future, if ever, the elite forces did an extraordinary job in the past and can be counted on to do so in the future, when need rears its ugly head. The peculiar nature and circumstances of the Vietnam War were such that it provided fertile ground for the growth of elite forces and the development of special mission tactics especially the Army's Special Forces. However, each branch of service had an elite special mission trained organization and the Army and Air Force had more than one: The Army's Special Forces, the largest and perhaps consequently the most controversial of all the American Elite troops can serve as a focus to introducing one to the elite troops belonging to the other branches of service. This is especially so since much of the tactics and training were pioneered and developed by the men of the Special Forces — the Green Berets. |

Wenn von deutschen Strahlflugzeugen des Zweiten Weltkrieges gesprochen wird, wird meist nur an die Messerschmitt Me 262 gedacht und dabei immer die Tatsache erwahnt, dass Hitler diese nur als Bomber haben wollte. Es erhebt sich die Frage, warum in diesem Zusammenhang nie von der Ar 234 gesprochen wird, die, zwar als Aufklaerer geplant, als Bomber verwendet werden konnte und bereits Anfang Juli 1944 auch verwendet worden ist. Die Ju 287 dagegen, der erste schwere Strahlbomber der Welt, kam nicht mehr zum Fronteinsatz. |

Ende der dreißiger Jahre kam für den Flugzeugbau eine der wohl wichtigsten Epochen in Sicht. Die Messerschmitt AG begann mit der Konzeption der späteren Me 262, damals noch als Projekt (P) 65 bezeichnet. Ab April 1941 lief die praktische Erprobung an. Nachdem die Festigkeit der P 1065-Zelle feststand, konnten die ersten Versuchstriebwerke installiert werden. Bis zum Sommer 1942 waren fünf Prototypen mit BMW 003-Turbinen geplant. Wegen technischer Unausgereiftheit mußte man kurzfristig auf Jumo 004-Triebwerke ausweichen. Im August 1942 wurde die Zahl der V-Muster auf zehn erhöht, um die Erprobung zu beschleunigen. Als das RLM schließlich von den Leistungen der Strahlflugzeuge überzeugt war, setzte Milch am 25. Mai 1943 die Produktion der Me 209 ab und ordnete gleichzeitig den unverzüglichen Serienanlauf der als Vielzweckflugzeug geplanten Me 262 an. Bis Mai 1943 standen trotz aller Anstrengungen erst vier Versuchsmuster mit Heckrad zur Verfügung, die jedoch alle nicht immer verfügbar waren. Die fehlenden sechs Me 262 sollten schnellstmöglich folgen. Um die taktische Seite des Flugverhaltens zu überprüfen, stellte das Oberkommando der Luftwaffe (OKL) — in Zusammenarbeit mit dem.Kommando der Erprobungsstellen (KdE) und dem General der Jagdflieger (GdJ) - das Erprobungskommando 262 (EKdo Lechfeld) auf. Es wurde von dem erfahrenen Piloten und Ritterkreuzträger Hauptmann Thierfelder geführt und war in Lechfeld stationiert. Mit den inzwischen frisch ausgelieferten Me 262 V6 und V7 führten Messerschmitt-Werkspiloten die umfangreiche Leistungserprobung durch. Gleichzeitig wurden die Junkers-Turbinen weiter vervollkommnet und immer wieder getestet. |

Introduction: This is our second volume on "U S Navy Camouflage of the WW2 era" The first book dealt with camouflage instructions in general While we will constantly refer to this first book as Camouflage I, or Volume I. keep in mind that there is no "1" designation printed anywhere on, or in, that book to identify it as Camouflage I. The majority of U.S. Navy camouflage schemes, Known as measures, were fairly simple—except for the patterns During WW2. USN pattern camouflage included two major types Splotch patterns were in heavy use from 1941 thru 1942 Dazzle patterns were earned by nearly every Pacific fleet warship, beginning early in 1944, until well into 1945 The splotch patterns were casually designed 'on the spot" Practically all of the hundreds of dazzle designs were prepared well in advance They were sent to yards and tenders to enable specific designs to be applied to specific ships. We've exposed only "the tip of the dazzle iceberg" m Chapter 5 of Camouflage I (however, it does include a complete breakdown of terminology). This new volume is an extension of Chapter 5 Even then, it covers only fleet and light fleet earners (CV & CVL) Each official USN pattern drawipg has been matched to pictures of those carriers which actually carried that design When possible, we've noted colors or patterns which deviated from the master drawing Some of these observations are based on photo interpretation only Thus, there is a possibility for error, especially if we had to rely on a "one of a kind" picture. |
