A case study of one air-ground team's experience with the theory & practice of tactical air power employed during WW2 campaigns against Germany. By the fall of 1944, the Allies had 5 fighter-bomber tactical air commands (TAC) supporting field armies in NW Europe. Of these the U.S. 3rd Army commanded by Lt. Gen. George Patton & the XIX TAC led by Brig. Gen. Otto Weyland were perhaps the most spectacular air-ground team of the war on the Allied side. The great success of Patton's drive across France & South Germany, owed a great deal to Weyland's airmen. This cooperation paved the way for allied victory in Western Europe & today remains a classic example of air-ground effective. Maps, photos, drawings. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
First published in 2002. From the foreword: "This insightful work by David N. Spires holds many lessons in tactical air-ground operations. Despite peacetime rivalries in the drafting of service doctrine, in World War II the immense pressures of wartime drove army and air commanders to cooperate in the effective prosecution of battlefield operations. In northwest Europe during the war, the combination of the U.S. Third Army commanded by Lt. Gen. George S. Patton and the XIX Tactical Air Command led by Brig. Gen. Otto P. Weyland proved to be the most effective allied air-ground team of World War II. The great success of Pattons drive across France, ultimately crossing the Rhine, and then racing across southern Germany, owed a great deal to Weylands airmen of the XIX Tactical Air Command. This deft cooperation paved the way for allied victory in Westren Europe and today remains a classic example of air-ground effectiveness. It forever highlighted the importance of air-ground commanders working closely together on the battlefield. The Air Force is indebted to David N. Spires for chronicling this landmark story of air-ground cooperation." Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
