About This Item
Washington, D.C.: Office of Air Force History, United States. Air Force, 1988. Presumed first edition/first printing. Hardcover. Very good/very good. xix, [1], 407 p. 25 cm. Special studies (United States. Air Force. Office of Air Force History). Illustrations. Maps. Glossary. Notes. Bibliographic Note. Index. DJ has slight wear and soiling. The author chronicles the development of radar and command organizations that influenced so heavily the Royal Air Force's performance in the Battle of Britain, the ability to marshal defenses and repair crews on the island of Malta, and evolving command arrangements in North Africa that made for success against a capable enemy whose own command arrangements were deficient. Cases were also chosen to investigate failures from which sound lessons could be drawn. Limited conflict in the cold war world has imposed its own logic on base defense and attacks on installations, and the examples of base destruction in the Middle East wars between 1948 and 1973 are also instructive.
