A propos de cet article

165 pages. Book is clean with a square, tight binding and bright, white pages. Book has two stamps on title page from a previous owner. Book has minor wear on the edges that is difficult to see in the scans. Numerous cases over the past 50 years illustrate the vulnerability of aircraft on the ground. In 1941, Commonwealth airfields on the island of Crete were lost to German forces despite advance knowledge of the attack. A series of successful raids on Axis airfields in North Africa by British special forces between 1940 and 1943 affected the outcome of the entire campaign. During the Vietnam War, U.S. air bases faced the most serious and sustained threat in military history. In all, small forces using unsophisticated weapons have destroyed or damaged over 2,000 aircraft in 645 attacks during this 50-year period. Snakes in the Eagle's Nest provides the first comprehensive look at air base attacks from 1940 to 1992, with in-depth focus on three case-study regions. In this book, Ala Vick explores the objectives, tactics, and outcomes of ground attacks to identify the most effective ways of defending air bases. The historical insights he provides will be interest to readers seeking not only to understand the nature of airfield attacks but why they will continue to be a threat in future conflicts. About the Author Alan Vick is a member of the research staff at RAND and has previously written on military strategy, arms control, and crisis management issues.
