Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Copyright by A nthony C Coin 2000 ABSTRACT The airmen and politicians who led theArmée de I ’Air as it served the Third Republic worked diligently to create a military institution that they believed met French defense needs. Their efforts revealed the difiBculties that arose when air power theory clashed with established notions of how to employ air forces. Airmen changed their ideas and methods about the proper role for the Air Force to accommodate competing Army and Navy opinions. Reactive doctrine crept into every aspect of the air service because the airmen failed to argue effectively for a distinct vision of warfare predicated on the dominance of the air weapon. Air force leaders transmitted doctrine and institutional values to operational and tactical commands by several institutional channels. At the lowest levels, airmen learned basic technical skills. Pilot training, aircraft and engine maintenance, radio operator training, and gunnery schools provided specialized training that met the basic Job requirements for manning combat units. These schools also gave members their first exposure to air doctrine concealed in the fijrm of technical training. After individuals completed basic technical training and reported to their assigned tactical units, exercises, and maneuvers became the primary means of transmittmg and refining air doctrine. Performance and behavior m day-to-day training, and, more importantly, in armual exercises indicated the degree that air force members accepted or rejected official ii doctrine. The degree and frequency of change in the structures and methods of the French training and education system also provided insight into institutional values and tactical efrëctîveness. The defeat of 1940 rocked the nation’s military institutions. The Air Force, in particular, shouldered a large portion of the blame for the military’s poor performance. The leaders of the institution sought to derive lessons from the battles of the war so that the disaster of 1940 would not reoccur. Air Force leaders launched an investigation into the conduct of the air war. Officers from combat and combat support specialties responded to requests for reports on their wartime experiences. In the harsh, painful process of self-examination and critique. Air Force persormel identified important areas for doctrinal and institutional change. in Dedicated to my wife, Mechieal Cain IV ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A writing project such as this may seem to some to be the product of a single mind. Yet, no one who attempts such a task emerges with this impression intact. The list of those to whom I owe emotional and intellectual debts is long. At the Air Command and Staff College, Colonel (ret.) John Warden and Lieutenant Colonel (ret.) Larry Weaver, established an atmosphere that encouraged and rewarded intellectual development. Colonel Weaver’s tireless efforts to set up the advanced degree program allowed me to begin this project; his timely and insightful feedback on each chapter helped me to complete it. Lieutenant Colonel Jim Forsyth and Dr. Rich Muller allowed me to focus on completing the manuscript. Colonel (retired) Tommy Dickson encouraged my research efforts and provided essential technical resources that made my time in Paris more productive. Dr. Bill Dean and Major Vicki Rast (Ph. D.) provided intellectual and emotional support well beyond the call of duty. A grant from the Institute ofNational Security Studies made my trip to the Service Historique de l'Armée de l ’Air at the Château de Vincennes just outside of Paris possible. Général (C. R) Hugues Silvestre de Sacy offered his kind assistance and that of his staff while I gathered the primary material that formed the core of this study. His permission to scan thousands of documents made my research efforts much more practical. Patrick Façon, François Peraot, and Marie Catherine Villatoux listened patiently to my ideas and did not condenm me for butchering their native tongue. Professor Façon graciously commented on organization and provided critical advice on sources. Laurent Henninger of theCentre d'Études d 'Histoire de la Défense also offered encouragement. Without the expert help of these professional historians, my dissertation would remain ill formed. At The Ohio State University, Professors John Guilmartin, Mark Grimsley, John Rothney, John Burnham, and Geoffrey Parker served as excellent professional role models. My primary dissertation adviser, Allan Millett, struck the ideal balance between enthusiasm for the project and direction. With so many top-notch scholars guiding my efforts, one might anticipate a flawless product, however, I cannot lay any blame for the shortcomings of this work at their feet. They offered their best advice; any flaws resulting from my failure to capitalize on that advice are mine. As much as the aforementioned individuals contributed to the completion of this dissertation, my family suffered its birth pangs. My children, Jessica, Micah, and Ryan, have, more often than not, seen their father with his nose in a book or glued to a computer screen. Yet, like most children, when I remembereu that they were infinitely more important than any piece of historical literature, they welcomed me with unconditional love and affection. My wife Mechieal remains the rock upon which our family depends. She shouldered the responsibilities of both mother and father while I traveled to Paris, she listened patiently to my endless musings about the writing process, and she reminded me that there is life after graduate school. Mechieal has honored me with her love and companionship for nineteen years; any success I attain stems from her unfailing loyalty and support—it is to her that I gratefully and lovingly dedicate this effort.

HOFFMAN Northwestern University As the French conquered Muslim lands in their nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century quest for empire, they encountered multiple and some- times mixed judicial systems among the native populations. In many places, legal codes were shaped by either fiqh, meaning Islamic law, one component of which is customary law, or by non-Islamic custom, or some combination of the two.1 To administer native justice in French colonies and protectorates, Acknowledgments: Generous funding for this research was provided by a Charles Ryskamp Fel- lowship from the American Council of Learned Societies, a National Endowment for the Huma- nities Faculty Fellowship, a long-term fellowship from the American Institute for Maghrib Studies, a Northwestern University Faculty Research Grant, and an Institute for the Humanities Fel- lowship from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Mohamed Ouakrim, president of the Court of Taroudant Providence, and Ali Achfur, senior secretary at the Judicial Center, Igherm, generously allowed me to work with the original court dockets in Igherm and Taroudant.

  • 1 the Moroccan Colonial Archive and the Hidden History of Moroccan
    1 The Moroccan Colonial Archive and the Hidden History of Moroccan Resistance Maghreb Review, 40:1 (2014), 108-121. By Edmund Burke III Although the period 1900-1912 was replete with numerous important social upheavals and insurrections, many of which directly threatened the French position in Morocco, none of them generated a contemporaneous French effort to discover what went wrong. Instead, the movements were coded as manifestations of supposedly traditional Moroccan anarchy and xenophobia and as such, devoid of political meaning. On the face of it, this finding is surprising. How could a French policy that billed itself as “scientific imperialism” fail to consider the socio-genesis of Moroccan protest and resistance? Despite its impressive achievements, the Moroccan colonial archive remains haunted by the inability of researchers to pierce the cloud of orientalist stereotypes that occluded their vision of Moroccan society as it actually was. For most historians, the period of Moroccan history between 1900 and 1912 is primarily known as “the Moroccan Question.” A Morocco-centered history of the Moroccan Question was impossible for Europeans to imagine. Moroccan history was of interest only insofar as it shed light on the diplomatic origins of World War I. European diplomats were the main actors in this drama, while Moroccans were pushed to the sidelines or reduced to vulgar stereotypes: the foolish and spendthrift sultan Abd al-Aziz and his fanatic and anarchic people. Such an approach has a degree of plausibility, since the “Moroccan Question” chronology does provide a convenient way of structuring events: the Anglo-French Accord (1904), the landing of the Kaiser at Tangier (1905), the Algeciras conference (1906), the landing of French troops at Casablanca (1907), the Agadir incident (1911) and the signing of the protectorate treaty (1912).

  • L'armée De L'air (1918-1940)
    1 L’Armée de l’Air (1918-1940) Souvenez-vous que vous n’avez pas été vaincus. Joseph Vuillemin di Emilio Bonaiti Gli anni Venti - Le operazioni in Marocco - Il pensiero militare - La pubblicistica - Il materiale - Gli anni Trenta - La guerra - La débacle. L’aeronautica francese iniziò il primo conflitto mondiale con 24 squadriglie e 150 aerei. Lo terminò con 320 squadriglie e 3.430 velivoli. Dalla guerra, che con l’incapacità dei comandi di risolvere il problema tattico del superamento di una trincea protetta da filo spinato e difesa dalla mitragliatrice, aveva rappresentato il fallimento dell’arte militare, si trasse un’importante lezione: le operazioni, con l’affermarsi dell’aeronautica, non erano più ristrette al campo di battaglia e alle retrovie, ma si allargavano alle metropoli, ai piccoli centri, alle strutture industriali, alle reti stradali e ferroviarie. La nuova Arma, che avrebbe rivoluzionato il XX secolo, era passata dall’aggiustamento del tiro d’artiglieria alla battaglia per la conquista dello spazio aereo. Fu il generale Duval, capo del Service Aéronautique aux Armées dall’agosto 1917, a creare la Division aérienne che, composta da circa 600 aerei, intervenne nel corso dell’ultima offensiva tedesca. Duval aveva concepito e attuato la dottrina dell’impiego in massa dell’aviazione con squadriglie di caccia e da 1 2 bombardamento che, operando sulle immediate retrovie, avevano bloccato dall’alto l’afflusso di truppe e rifornimenti sul campo di battaglia. Scriveva: “La victoire aérienne doit précéder la victoire terrestre dont elle est l’un des éléments et le gage”. Il generale si era opposto all’auspicata creazione di una forza aerea autonoma interalleata da bombardamento insistentemente richiesta dagli Inglesi, riassumendo il suo pensiero nella celebre frase: “A che serve bombardare Colonia se Parigi cade?”.

  • B. the Modern City
    B. THE MODERN CITY CASABLANCA: THE CITY IN THE ISLAMIC WORLD Jean-Louis Cohen Casablanca lies outside the polygon of centres in which Morocco’s destiny was played out up to the nineteenth century. Places of trade like Tangier, Tétouan, or Mogador, and imperial cities like Fez, Marrakesh, Rabat, or Meknès, formed a network whose confi guration and hierarchy were transformed by the rise of Casablanca. The meeting of populations and the fruitful cooperation of businessmen, speculators, professionals and enlightened bureaucrats made it the melting pot of a modern cul- ture. At the same time, it has remained a constant theatre of confl ict between national groups, social classes, and political forces. Casablanca shows the contradictions of its position as the main port of modern Morocco, the luxury and refi nement of its bourgeoisie existing side by side with the wretchedness of those transplanted from the countryside. It has remained the cradle of insurrections and popular movements, just as it was during the struggles for Independence, and control of it is the subject of sharp political confrontations. It is the centre of mass culture, beginning with its written and audio-visual media. In the fi eld of contemporary architecture—and despite the vigour of the scenes in Rabat or Marrakesh—it is the recipient of the abundant production to which industries, banks, and private promotion give rise. The very name of the city preserves the legendary resonances of the fi rst times of the French conquest. A city of adventures—“strange and troubling,” according to a popular song, and almost disreputable in lit- erature—colonial propaganda marked it down as a place of innovation.

  • And They Use Family Challenges to Justify Poor Performance in Trading
    Book Reviews and they use family challenges to justify poor performance in trading. Yet, traders also use trading to manage and negotiate relationships with family and friends. If there is a weakness to the book, it is in the conclusion Preda draws about why traders continue despite the poor returns. His conclusion is that trading helps them fulfill personal goals. I cannot help but wonder if there is something else going on here. Is it possible that many of the traders think that they have the skills or strategies that it takes to succeed despite the odds? Preda deals with this potential, but I would have enjoyed more dis- cussion about motivations of this sort. Yet, this is a minor critique of an oth- erwise excellent book. Another weak point is that, despite its depth, the reader is left not knowing how common the patterns described here are. Are these traders typical of the traders in the United States and the United Kingdom, the focus of Preda’s work? How does trading work in other coun- tries? That, of course, is where other researchers might pick up on the im- portant topics that Preda introduces in Noise.
