A propos de cet article

Hardcover. 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. AUTHORS: Commander Sharkey Ward flew the Phantom F-4K from the deck of HMS Ark Royal IV before going to the Ministry of Defence to oversee the final development of the Sea Harrier fighter aircraft. He was then appointed to receive the aircraft into service and to bring the aircraft and its crews up to full combat readiness. His success as Mr. Sea Harrier was demonstrated in the Falklands air war, where he served with distinction in command of 801 Naval Air Squadron. Dr Anthony Wells is unique insofar as he is the only living person to have worked for British Intelligence as a British citizen, and for US Intelligence as a US citizen at the highest level, and to have also served in uniform at sea and ashore with both the Royal Navy and the US Navy. He was trained and mentored in the late 1960s by the very best of the Second World War intelligence community, including Sir Harry Hinsley, the famous Bletchley Park codebreaker. 50 b/w illustrations Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
