    The U.S. Army Air Forces in World War II Conquering the Night Army Air Forces Night Fighters at War PRINTER: strip in FIGURE NUMBER A-1 Shoot at 277% bleed all sides Stephen L. McFarland A Douglas P–70 takes off for a night fighter training mission, silhouetted by the setting Florida sun. 2 The U.S. Army Air Forces in World War II Conquering the Night Army Air Forces Night Fighters at War Stephen L. McFarland AIR FORCE HISTORY AND MUSEUMS PROGRAM 1998 Conquering the Night Army Air Forces Night Fighters at War The author traces the AAF’s development of aerial night fighting, in- cluding technology, training, and tactical operations in the North African, European, Pacific, and Asian theaters of war. In this effort the United States never wanted for recruits in what was, from start to finish, an all-volunteer night fighting force. Cut short the night; use some of it for the day’s business. — Seneca For combatants, a constant in warfare through the ages has been the sanctuary of night, a refuge from the terror of the day’s armed struggle. On the other hand, darkness has offered protection for operations made too dangerous by daylight. Combat has also extended into the twilight as day has seemed to provide too little time for the destruction demanded in modern mass warfare. In World War II the United States Army Air Forces (AAF) flew night- time missions to counter enemy activities under cover of darkness. Allied air forces had established air superiority over the battlefield and behind their own lines, and so Axis air forces had to exploit the night’s protection for their attacks on Allied installations.

  • With Wings Like Eagles: a History of the Battle of Britain1
    With Wings Like Eagles: A History of the Battle of Britain1 Robert R. Watkins2 and Shauna M. Watkins3 In With Wings Like Eagles: A History of the Battle of Britain, Michael Korda provides a historical, political, and sociological context for World War II's “Battle of Britain,” a term coined by Winston Churchill to describe the impending conflict between Great Britain and Germany after the defeat of France in the early years of World War II (“the War”).4 The Battle took place in the summer and autumn of 1940 between the German Luftwaffe Air Force (“German Luftwaffe”) and the British Royal Air Force (“RAF”).5 Korda simultaneously balances the objectivity of academic writing with the warmth of grandfatherly storytelling. He begins by reminding us of the “‘dashing’ young men on both sides” who participated in the Battle of Britain.6 He acknowledges the appeal of the archetypal fighter pilot, but, at the same time, he dispels the mythological underpinnings of the War.7 Indeed, by the end of the book, he bluntly laments that “much of the pain and bitterness of the Battle of Britain was eventually suppressed in favor of a more glamorous picture.”8 1 Michael Korda, With Wings liKe eagles: a history of the Battle of Britain (2009). 2 Robert R.

  • Educators' Resource Guide
    EDUCATORS' RESOURCE GUIDE A guide produced and published by 3D Entertainment Distribution and N3D LAND Films Written and Curriculum Developed by Dr. Elisabeth Mantello THE FILM 70 YEARS AGO, A HISTORIC LANDING Changed THE WORLD. A TRIBUTE TO COURAGE, COMPETENCE AND COMMITMENT. June 6, 1944: The largest Allied operation of World War II began in Normandy, France. Yet, only a few know in detail exactly why and how, from the end of 1943 through August 1944, this region became the most important location in the world. Blending multiple cinematographic techniques, including animation, CGI and stunning live-action images, “D-Day: Normandy 1944” brings this monumental event to the world’s largest screens for the first time ever. Audiences of all ages, including new generations, will discover from a new perspective how this landing changed the world. Exploring history, military strategy, science, technology and human values, the film will educate and appeal to all. Narrated by Tom Brokaw, D-Day:“ Normandy 1944” pays tribute to those who gave their lives for our freedom… A duty of memory, a duty of gratitude. Director: Pascal Vuong Rewarded very early in his career with a prize for his short-film "The Invisible Man In Blind Love" entirely made with CGI, this former architect went on to work as a director in fields as varied as institutional or corporate films, music videos, TV on-screen identity or publicity for which he made more than 60 commercial films. At the end of 2004, in collaboration with Ronan Chapalain and with the unwavering support of Catherine Vuong, his partner in work and life, he decided to found N3D LAND in order to devote himself fully to three of his passions: film direction, science and technology.

Committee Member ______________________________ Brenda Ayres, Ph.D. Honors Director ______________________________ Date ENDURING THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN AND THE BLITZ 3 Abstract The Blitz was a roughly nine-month mass bombing of London and other cities in Great Britain by the German Luftwaffe in 1940-1941. It was a time of great destruction and death but also of unity and courage among the British people. After the war had ended, Winston Churchill described how “for a year, all alone, the people of this island defied the tyrants of the world and held the fort for freedom until other great nations, themselves assailed, came into the line of battle.”1 The Germans aimed to achieve a decisive defeat of Britain. They believed that by attacking the civilian population, the people would be miserable and desperate enough to sue for peace. Instead, the opposite occurred. Great Britain unified and defied the conventional expectations, not only resisting defeat but eventually even convincing the Germans that the effort was futile.
