Smith, USAF (Ret.) 2 AIR POWER History / WINTER 2009 From the Editor In this issue, you will find a photo essay on the year’s capstone event—the Air Force Historical Foundation’s 2009 Symposium and Awards Ceremony. The October 8th day-long event blended pre- sentations, debates, and discussions by airmen and historians on the Balkans Air Campaigns of the 1990s. Air Force Chief of Staff General Norton A. Schwartz headlined the evening’s banquet and delivered the keynote address. Foundation President and CEO, Major General Dale W. Meyerrose, successfully completed his “first flight” (See pages 56-59.) The feature articles for the Winter 2009 issue begin with Cargill Hall’s account of President Eisenhower’s peacetime policy regarding overflight of “belligerent enemy” territory. What were its ramifications in the 1950s and early 1960s? And what historical insights can we glean from this account? The second article, by Evelyn Zegenhagen, tells the virtually unknown story of German women pilots in World War II. Based on interviews, unpublished diaries, flight logs, and notebooks, the author details the wartime role of German women and analyzes their motivation. Perhaps most interesting is the fact that these women operated in the context of the Nazi state, which advocated strict gender roles for women as wives and mothers. Roger Miller, a frequent contributor and internationally acclaimed expert on the Berlin Airlift, reexamines the role of aircraft maintenance in the airlift. Faced with a serious shortage of mainte- nance personnel, the audacious and resourceful Major General William Tunner, managed to deliver the goods. In part, he did so by employing former members of the Luftwaffe. In the fourth feature, British historian A.D. Harvey, presents an essay by Charles F. Portal, the World War II Chief of Staff of the Royal Air Force. Written in 1922, Portal’s essay, about his wartime flying experience during World War I, provides some very interesting observations regarding air power in the Great War. There are twenty book reviews in this issue and an extensive list of new books received. We have moved much of our backlog of book reviews to the Foundation’s website: http://www.afhistorical- foundation.org. News items, letters to the editor, the History Mystery, and other departments appear in their regular places. Air Power History and the Air Force Historical Foundation disclaim responsibility for statements, either of fact or of opinion, made by contributors. The submission of an article, book review, or other communication with the intention that it be published in this journal shall be construed as prima facie evidence that the contributor willingly transfers the copyright to Air Power History and the Air Force Historical Foundation, which will, however, freely grant authors the right to reprint their own works, if published in the authors’ own works. In the case of articles, upon acceptance, the author will be sent an agreement and an assignment of copyright.

  • Manufacturing Discontent: the Rise to Power of Anti-TTIP Groups
    ECIPE OCCASIONAL PAPER • 02/2016 Manufacturing Discontent: The Rise to Power of Anti-TTIP Groups By Matthias Bauer, Senior Economist* *Special thanks to Karen Rudolph (Otto-Friedrich-University Bamberg) and Agnieszka Smiatacz (Research Assistant at ECIPE) for research support all along the process of the preparation of this study. ecipe occasional paper — no. 02/2016 ABSTRACT Old beliefs, new symbols, new faces. In 2013, a small group of German green and left- wing activists, professional campaign NGOs and well-established protectionist organisations set up deceptive communication campaigns against TTIP, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership between the European Union and the United States. Germany’s anti-TTIP NGOs explicitly aimed to take German-centred protests to other European countries. Their reasoning is contradictory and logically inconsistent. Their messages are targeted to serve common sense protectionist demands of generally ill-informed citizens and politicians. Thereby, anti-TTIP communication is based on metaphoric messages and far-fetched myths to effectively evoke citizens’ emotions. Together, these groups dominated over 90 percent of online media reporting on TTIP in Germany. Anti-TTIP protest groups in Germany are not only inventive; they are also resourceful. Based on generous public funding and opaque private donations, green and left-wing political parties, political foundations, clerical and environmental groups, and well-established anti-globalisation organisations maintain influential campaign networks. Protest groups’ activities are coordinated by a number of former and current green and left-wing politicians and political parties that search for anti-establishment political profiles. As Wallon blockage mentality regarding CETA, the trade and investment agreement between the European Union and Canada, demonstrates, Germany’s anti-TTIP groups’ attempts to undermine EU trade policy bear the risk of coming to fruition in other Eurpean countries.

  • Power and Initiative in Twentieth Century Germany
    POWER AND INITIATIVE IN TWENTIETH CENTURY GERMANY THE CASE OF HUGO JUNKERS by RICHARD WILLIAM EDWIN BYERS (Under the direction of John Morrow) ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the relationship between private enterprises and nation states in high technology research and applications. As the twentieth century progressed, this relationship became more contentious as state organs, citing national security priorities, attempted to assert their influence on private manufacturers. Nowhere is this relationship better illustrated than in the aircraft industry, and Germany’s geopolitical circumstances during the first half of the twentieth century provide an excellent framework to explore this intersection of interests. The dissertation focuses on the relationship between Professor Hugo Junkers and three successive state regimes in Germany between 1914 and 1934. Already a successful businessman and entrepreneur by the beginning of the First World War, Hugo Junkers continued to pursue plans for all- metal aircraft designs after war began despite wartime supply difficulties and widespread skepticism that such a craft would ever fly. Successful flight trials in 1915 lead to increased official interest in the Junkers firm as a possible military aircraft supplier, and military representatives began negotiations with Junkers over possible production of his aircraft designs. When these negotiations foundered, state officials accused Junkers of pursuing selfish objectives at the state’s expense, and increasingly intervened in the firm’s production processes. Professor Junkers fiercely resisted these incursions, and this resistance permanently damaged relations between the two parties. Throughout the life of the Weimar Republic, Junkers and state officials fought to control the firm’s production and design priorities.

Figures 41 and 42 show the Close Combat Bar. obverse and reverse of the Bundeswehr Knight’s Cross with swords and oakleaves. The one badge that is conspicuously absent from this list of Third Reich awards permitted to be worn by Bundeswehr personnel is the Anti-Partisan War Badge (Bandenkampfabzeichen). This is probably because the badge was initially created by Heinrich Himmler for Waffen-SS personnel battling guerillas behind the lines on the Eastern Front and in the mountains of the Balkans. Although Wehrmacht (mostly Army but some Air Force) personnel later qualified for the badge, its origins as anSS award and the nature of the fighting for which the badge was awarded probably made it too controversial for de- Nazification and wear in post-1957 German armed forces. In any event, shortly after the de-Nazified awards were authorized for wear, however, the Bundeswehr abolished all full-sized breast badges, and converted them to ribbon bars with a miniature version of the badge superimposed. For example, the Tank Destruction Badge in gold became a gold-colored ribbon with a silver tank. The Tank Destruction Badge in Silver became a silver colored ribbon with a bronze tank on it.
