  • Sanctuary Lost: the Air War for ―Portuguese‖ Guinea, 1963-1974
    Sanctuary Lost: The Air War for ―Portuguese‖ Guinea, 1963-1974 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Martin Hurley, MA Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Professor John F. Guilmartin, Jr., Advisor Professor Alan Beyerchen Professor Ousman Kobo Copyright by Matthew Martin Hurley 2009 i Abstract From 1963 to 1974, Portugal and the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (Partido Africano da Independência da Guiné e Cabo Verde, or PAIGC) waged an increasingly intense war for the independence of ―Portuguese‖ Guinea, then a colony but today the Republic of Guinea-Bissau. For most of this conflict Portugal enjoyed virtually unchallenged air supremacy and increasingly based its strategy on this advantage. The Portuguese Air Force (Força Aérea Portuguesa, abbreviated FAP) consequently played a central role in the war for Guinea, at times threatening the PAIGC with military defeat. Portugal‘s reliance on air power compelled the insurgents to search for an effective counter-measure, and by 1973 they succeeded with their acquisition and employment of the Strela-2 shoulder-fired surface-to-air missile, altering the course of the war and the future of Portugal itself in the process. To date, however, no detailed study of this seminal episode in air power history has been conducted. In an international climate plagued by insurgency, terrorism, and the proliferation of sophisticated weapons, the hard lessons learned by Portugal offer enduring insight to historians and current air power practitioners alike.

  • The Korean War, the Cold War, and the American Novel
    American Literature Steven The Korean War, the Cold War, Belletto and the American Novel In the summer of 1952, novelist Pat Frank got a call from the United Nations asking him to make a documentary film about Korea. Frank had never been to Korea, nor did he speak the language or have any special knowledge about the Pacific Rim. But the previ- ous year he had published a novel about the Korean War called Hold Back the Night, an accomplishment that apparently qualified him, at least in the eyes of the United Nation’s Korean Reconstruction Agency (UNKRA), to script a film about the war and its effects on the penin- sula. Frank accepted, and recounted his time in Korea in his next book, The Long Way Round (1953). Early on, he explains his charge by quot- ing the agent general of the UNKRA, who requested that the projected film “‘show what has happened to the people of South Korea, what can be done to help them, and tell why it must be done. Thirty million peo- ple have been ground into the muck and dust of Asia on this battle- ground. The struggle is not only between armies, but between systems, ours below the 38th Parallel, theirs above. Which system is better? Which half of Korea will recover first?’” (Frank 1953, 23). Today, a more pointed question might be why an American novelist with only a glancing understanding of Korea and the Korean War could be presumed capable of representing the story of thirty million Kore- ans. Part of the answer rests in the way the agent general represents the “struggle,” a figuration that both emblematizes how Asia was con- ceived in the early Cold War rhetorical frame and that echoes Frank’s own treatment in Hold Back the Night.

    P-47 Thunderbolt USAAF P-47D "Razorback" configuration Type Fighter-bomber Manufacturer Republic Aviation Company Designed by Alexander de Seversky Alexander Kartveli Maiden flight 6 May 1941 Introduction 1942 Retired 1955, US ANG Primary user United States Army Air Force Number built 15,686 Unit cost US$83,000 in 1945[1] Variants Republic XP-72 The American Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, also known as T-bolt, Juggernaut or Jug was the largest single-engined fighter of its day. It was one of the main United States Army Air Force (USAAF) fighters of the Second World War. The P-47 was effective in air combat but proved especially adept in the ground attack role. Its modern-day equivalent, the A-10 Thunderbolt II takes its name from the P- 47. The Thunderbolt also served with a number of other Allied air forces. Development The P-47 Thunderbolt was the product of two Georgian immigrants, Alexander de Seversky and Alexander Kartveli, who had left their homeland to escape the Bolsheviks. P-43 Lancer / XP-47B 1 P-47 fires its M2 machine guns during night gunnery. In 1939, the Republic Aviation Company designed an AP-4 demonstrator powered by a Pratt & Whitney R-1830 radial engine with a belly-mounted turbocharger. While the resulting P-43 Lancer was in limited production, Republic had been working on an improved P-44 Rocket with a more powerful engine, as well as on a fighter designated the AP-10. The latter was a a lightweight aircraft powered by the Allison V-1710 liquid-cooled V-12 engine and armed with a pair of .50 caliber (12.7 mm) machine guns.

  • A LIFE of FLIGHT – European Pioneers of Early Aviation *
    A LIFE OF FLIGHT – European Pioneers of Early Aviation * This study follows the life of aviation pioneer Erich Schatzki and highlights the careers of some of his peers. Schatzki worked in many different countries, starting in Germany where he was, until 1934, the technical manager of Lufthansa. He was party to the coming of American airliner technology to Europe and played later a creative role in the building of military and civilian aircraft in the Netherlands, USA and Israel. The story of Erich Schatzki is not just a story of aviation but also of the political upheavals of the 20th century. 1. 1898 – 1991 Erich Schatzki and Family Erich Schatzki, born January 23 1898 in Klafeld (Siegen) Nord-Rhein Westfalen, Germany. Died in Palo Alto, CA USA on August 28, 1991. German/American/Israeli pilot, aircraft designer, manager, entrepreneur and lecturer. Son of the Jewish engineer Ferdinand Schatzki (1857–1910), Oberingenieur at the Siegener Verzinkerei AG in Klafeld-Geisweid, Germany, and his wife Beate Stern from Schmallenberg. Erich S. had four brothers, who all survived the Second World War. Walter became a book seller and antiquarian in New York; Richard a famous radiologist at Boston MA, where he discovered the so-called Schatzi-ring, a throat affliction. He loved music and had at home two Steinway grand pianos. Paul studied medicine and became a well known physician in Australia and Herbert was a textile manufacturer. Their lives were strongly marked by their Jewish lineage that forced them to flee their country of birth in the 1930’s. 1 Erich Schatzki (1898-1991) Erich studied engineering at Hannover and Darmstadt Technische Hochschule (1923).
