Product Description
While the most conspicuous components of the US Army Air Forces in World War II were the air units, there were also hundreds of ground units and organisations. Besides assigned military personnel the AAF also employed thousands of civilians. Many unique outfits were designed to meet the AAF's special needs. Uniformed civilians also possessed a variety of unique uniforms and insignia. These general issue and specific uniforms are the subject of this volume by one of Osprey's most experienced authors, Gordon L. Rottman, whose detailed text is backed by plenty of contemporary photographs and 12 full page colour plates by Francis Chin. ... Read more

Product Description
'The silence of the inky black night is broken by the distant rumble of turboprop engines droning even closer. Out of the darkness comes the unmistakable sound of weapons being brought to bear. Tracer rounds arc downwards lighting up the sky and a seemingly endless stream of shell-fire tears at the ground, as an unseen night hunter plies its trade. This sort of power and precision can mean only one thing, a US Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) AC-130 'Spectre' Gunship is on station'.

The airmen and aircraft of AFSOC are certaily amongst the elite of the aviation world, flying some of the most unusual and powerful aircraft in the USAF inventory, and providing a unique and hightly specialized service to the combat force. Although the first use of 'Special Operations' aircraft came during World War II, it was the Vietnam War that became the channel for the employment of modern clandestine aviation platforms. This led to the birth of the 'Gunship' concept initially in the shape of the elderly AC-47 'Spooky', followed by the AC-119 'Stinger' and then the AC-130 'Spectre'. Allied to this came the specialized MC-130 with its scissor nose, designed to pluck downed airmen from hostile territory, as well as the infamous HH-3 'Jolly Green Giant' rescue helicopter.

However, it was the ill-fated 'Operation Eagle Claw', the attempt to recue American hostages from the Embassy in Tehrahn that proved to be the catalyst that formed the dedicated Special Operations Command that exists today. Now in the 21st century the AFSCOC continues to play an exceptional role within the Air Force, and operates some of most distinctive aircraft in the world.

Much has been written about the exploits of special operations aircraft in the Vietnam War, and also titles are available on individual aircraft types, however, this 'MDF Extra' brings together in one volume all of the special operations aircraft of today, (with a homage to those of the past) and includes the AC-130 'Spectre', MC-130 'Combat Talon', MC-130P 'Combat Shadow', EC-130 'Commando Solo/Rivet Fire', MC-130 'Combat Spear', CV-22 'Osprey', MH-53 'Pave Low', MH-60 'Pave Hawk' and C-17 'SOL II', looking in detail at their specifications, operations, combat roles, combined with aircrew comments, walk-around and 'in-action' images. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars The Next Best Thing to Flying an SR-71
No kidding - this is the actual SR-71 pilot's manual.Hundreds of pages telling you everything you need to know to fly a SR-71, but nothing about the recon equipment.There may have been a few pages deleted, but it isn't obvious from reading it.It's great to page through this book while reading accounts of flying the SR-71 (such as "Sled Driver" or "The Untouchables") - it gives you a much better appreciation of what's going on.

If you can find a copy, buy it.Well worth the price for a Habu fan.A bit steep for anyone else... ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Airforce History
geopolitical, Battling Tradition details the revolution in modern military education that became the ethos in the formative years of the United States Air Force Academy. The leader of this revolution was Robert F. McDermott. West Point graduate, World War II combat pilot, Harvard MBA, and a full colonel less than twelve years after commissioning, McDermott was assigned to the newly created Air Force Academy in 1954. Dreamers and Doers always exist, but rarely do individuals possess both traits, as did the brilliant McDermott. He had a vision of what the Academy could be, and then fought successfully to make it so. Building on the foundation of West Point's devotion to "Duty, Honor, Country," Dean of Faculty McDermott departed from the traditional educational ideas of Sylvanus Thayer and the senior service academies with his innovative academic programs. His goal was to match the excellence of America's most prestigious colleges and universities in order to produce better career officers to serve in an increasingly complex geopolitical world. His most staggering accomplishment was obtaining formal accreditation for the Academy before the first class graduated in 1959, the first and only such occurrence in the history of American post-secondary education. In this skillfully researched and well-written narrative based on new primary sources, Paul Ringenbach recounts the founding of the Academy and McDermott's extraordinary efforts that continue to impact the tens of thousands of graduates of the nation's service academies. This study is about leadership and one remarkable individual's success in overcoming entrenched opposition from traditionalists to bring the education of professional career officers into the modern era. Military retirement did not end McDermott's story, however. Ringenbach sketches his second illustrious career as Chairman and CEO of USAA. McDermott turned USAA into anational success story, and at the same time, led the civic movement to modernize San Antonio.

"Although I admired the charismatic General McDermott, I never really appreciated the difficulty and depth of what he did for the Academy, the Air Force, and the Nation until I read this biography."--General Ronald R. Fogelman, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force 1994-97, in Foreword

"General McDermott's courageous talent created an Academy for the ages. Paul Ringenbach has captured his essence here." --Michael W. Wynne, Secretary of the Air Force
