Torchmark Corporation 2 AIR POWER History / FALL 2016 From the Editor Our latest issue of Air Power History has rather a split personality. It leads off with a lengthy article concerning the war in Vietnam, and follows that with three shorter articles all about World War II. The first article, by Mike Hankins, concerns the effort to use real-time signals intelli- gence to support tactical aircraft involved in air-to-air combat. The fusion of multi-source intelligence into a single coherent set of warnings was called “Teaball,” and was the outcome of an effort by the Seventh Air Force commander, Gen. John Vogt, to give his pilots a fight- ing chance, one which they had been missing during early 1972. The second article is by John O’Connell, and is a fascinating discussion of the evolution of air-to-air tactics against the Zero by pilots who initially were flying inferior American fighters. Until the Zero’s pluses and minuses became known, pilots had to find a way to sur- vive against the Zero early in World War II. The third article is by our British expert on World War II aircraft, A. D. Harvey. His topic this time is the Italian Air Force in 1940, and the air offensive that they could never quite undertake. The fourth and final article is by Daniel Haulman, and covers the Freeman Field Mutiny in which the Tuskegee flyers fought back against the personal racism they were subjected to by one of their commanding officers.

  • Operation Kipion: Royal Navy Assets in the Persian by Claire Mills Gulf
    BRIEFING PAPER Number 8628, 6 January 2020 Operation Kipion: Royal Navy assets in the Persian By Claire Mills Gulf 1. Historical presence: the Armilla Patrol The UK has maintained a permanent naval presence in the Gulf region since October 1980, when the Armilla Patrol was established to ensure the safety of British entitled merchant ships operating in the region during the Iran-Iraq conflict. Initially the Royal Navy’s presence was focused solely in the Gulf of Oman. However, as the conflict wore on both nations began attacking each other’s oil facilities and oil tankers bound for their respective ports, in what became known as the “tanker war” (1984-1988). Kuwaiti vessels carrying Iraqi oil were particularly susceptible to Iranian attack and foreign-flagged merchant vessels were often caught in the crossfire.1 In response to a number of incidents involving British registered vessels, in October 1986 the Royal Navy began accompanying British-registered vessels through the Straits of Hormuz and in the Persian Gulf. Later the UK’s Armilla Patrol contributed to the Multinational Interception Force (MIF), a naval contingent patrolling the Persian Gulf to enforce the UN-mandated trade embargo against Iraq, imposed after its invasion of Kuwait in August1990.2 In the aftermath of the 2003 Iraq conflict, Royal Navy vessels, deployed as part of the Armilla Patrol, were heavily committed to providing maritime security in the region, the protection of Iraq’s oil infrastructure and to assisting in the training of Iraqi sailors and marines. 1.1 Assets The Type 42 destroyer HMS Coventry was the first vessel to be deployed as part of the Armilla Patrol, followed by RFA Olwen.

  • Battle of Britain Blood Red Skies
    Battle of Britain Blood Red Skies (BRS) Campaign The German “Blitzkrieg”, a new way of waging “lightning war” had raged through first Poland, then in the early summer of 1940 struck at Holland, Belgium and France. The Luftwaffe (German air force) crushed all opponents in the air, and then fast moving armour with ever present air support sliced through ground forces leaving their opponents scrabbling to hold defensive positions that were already untenable. The British Expeditionary Force fell back to Dunkirk and was evacuated against the odds. During this period the RAF (Royal Air Force) had desperately tried to defend the Dunkirk beaches and the constant stream of ships large and small ferrying the remains of the BEF back home. When the last ships left over 338000 men had been evacuated, British and French, but they were exhausted and had abandoned all their weapons and heavy equipment on French roads and beaches. As Churchill said “What General Weygand has called the Battle of France is over ... the Battle of Britain is about to begin” The Battle of Britain was fought in the skies above England in the summer of 1940. The Luftwaffe were seeking to destroy the RAF to clear the way for a cross Chanel assault by the German Army. If they could succeed, Britain would be threatened with defeat and the war would be over. If the RAF could survive, then there may be time to prepare the defences, and possibly take the fight back to the enemy in due course. This campaign is designed to allow players to recreate some of the desperate battles fought in the summer of 1940 using the Blood Red Skies (BRS) rules from Warlord Games.

  • Der Zweite Weltkrieg / Band 08
    Der Zweite Weltkrieg / Band 08 Luftkrieg Europa-bezogen Vorwort und Themen dieses Buches Vorwort zum Luftkrieg Europa bezogen Der Verlauf des Luftkrieges in fünf Phasen Zusatzthemen zum Luftkrieg Navigation und Abwurf der Bomben Flugabwehrkanonen und Jäger in Deutschland Luftwaffen der am Krieg in Europa beteiligten Länder Vorwort und Themen dieses Buches Der Zweite Weltkrieg von 1939 bis 1945 war der zweite global geführte Krieg sämtlicher Grossmächte des 20. Jahrhunderts und stellt den grössten militärischen Konflikt in der Geschichte der Menschheit dar. Er begann in Europa mit dem deutschen Überfall auf Polen am 1. September 1939. In Ostasien befand sich das mit Deutschland verbündete Japan seit 1938 in einem Grenzkrieg mit der Sowjetunion und seit 1937 im Pazifikkrieg mit China. Im Kriegsverlauf bildeten sich zwei militärische Allianzen, die als Achsenmächte und Alliierte bezeichnet werden. Direkt oder indirekt waren über 60 Staaten an diesem Krieg beteiligt, mehr als 110 Millionen Menschen standen unter Waffen. Der Krieg kostete über 60 Millionen Menschen das Leben und erfasste den ganzen Erdball. Der Zweite Weltkrieg bestand in Europa aus Blitzkriegen, Eroberungsfeldzügen gegen die deutschen Nachbarländer mit Eingliederung besetzter Gebiete, der Einsetzung von Marionettenregierungen, Flächenbombardements sowie im letzten Jahr dem Einsatz von Atomwaffen in Japan; er verlief in drei Hauptphasen. Mittelbar starben Millionen Menschen durch Holocaust (Shoa), Porajmos und weitere Massenmorde, durch Zwangsarbeit und zahllose Kriegsverbrechen. Das vorliegende Buch ist ein Zusammenzug von vorhandenen Daten und Dokumente und der Versuch diese in einen chronologischen Ablauf zu bringen. Die Quellen sind jeweils zu Beginn eines Themas aufgeführt. Keiner dachte nach dem 1. Weltkrieg, dass ein solches furchtbares Ereignis noch übertroffen werden könnte.

  • Winter 2017 FLIGHTLINE
    Daedalus Winter 2017 FLIGHTLINE 18th (Mile High) Flight Denver, CO Cyber Security is headline news these days as we combat threats to our national security and personal identities. Major General Dale Meyerrose, USAF (Ret) was our guest speaker in Oct 2016 to speak to us on that subject. During - Director of National Intelligence. That is quite a lengthy, triple-hat job title but what it boiled down to is that he became the internationally respected subject mat- ter expert on cyber security, strategic planning, intelligence leadership, telemedi- cine technology and military intelligence matters. And, it all started at the USAF Academy as a classmate of our Flight Cap- both on the parachute demonstration team and both became Master Parachutists. Maj gen Dale Meyerrose He founded the MeyerRose Group, LLC, consulting world-wide on cyber security, strategy, business planning, and executive development. He is frequently quoted in international news and trade publications and often ap- pears on Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, and other programs like Bloomberg International. General Meyerrose spoke to us and emphasized cyber security myths vs. the reality. For example the myth that the biggest threat is from outside sources; the reality is inside sources. The myth that high tech hacking is the biggest threat; in reality it is simply credential theft whether it be government agencies or personal data. The myth that China or some other nation is the biggest threat; in reality it is ourselves. We allow malicious software in to on social media channels or e-mail. The bottom line is that cyber security is not something you have; it is something you constantly work on.
