How Strategic Airpower has Changed the World Order: From the 100Th Bomb Group in 1943 to the Falklands and Beyond
Nigel David Maccartan-Ward; Dr Anthony Wells
Synopsis "How Strategic Airpower has Changed the World Order: From the 100Th Bomb Group in 1943 to the Falklands and Beyond"
This work demonstrates how maritime deterrence strategy in a challenging world is critically underpinned by strategic air power at sea and on land.In this book, the history and utility of land- and carrier-based strategic airpower is brought to life by the gallant exploits and photographs of B-17 aircraft "Quittin' Time" and of its Navigator, "Fred" Julian in the Second World War, and by the unforgiving and unswerving dedication of "Sharkey" Ward and his Sea Harrier team in the Falklands war.The overarching message is that the strategic airpower lessons of the past eight decades underpin the urgent need for the UK government to invest more wisely in its Fleet so that the latter may work effectively in conjunction with the US Navy on the global mission to deter those that would harm us, and to maintain the freedom of passage of all shipping throughout the global commons.The authors show how a maritime deterrence strategy in a challenging world is critically underpinned by strategic air power at sea and on land.
