  • Africa to the Alps the Army Air Forces in the Mediterranean Theater
    The U.S. Army Air Forces in World War II Africa to the Alps The Army Air Forces in the Mediterranean Theater Edward T. Russell and Robert M. Johnson AIR FORCE HISTORY AND MUSEUMS PROGRAM 1999 Africa to the Alps The Army Air Forces in the Mediterranean Theater By the time the United States declared war on Germany and Italy on December 11, 1941, most of Europe had fallen under the domination of Adolf Hitler, dictator of Germany’s Third Reich. In the west, only Great Britain, her armies expelled from the European continent, re- mained defiant; in the east, Hitler faced an implacable foe—the Sovi- et Union.While the Soviets tried to stave off a relentless German at- tack that had reached Moscow, Britain and her Commonwealth allies fought a series of crucial battles with Axis forces in North Africa. Initially, America’s entry into the war changed nothing. The Unit- ed States continued to supply the Allies with the tools of war, as it had since the passage of the Lend-Lease Act in March 1941. U.S. military forces, however, had to be expanded, trained, equipped, and deployed, all of which would take time. With the United States in the war, the Allies faced the question of where American forces could best be used. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British prime minister Winston S. Churchill had al- ready agreed that defeating first Germany and then Japan would be their policy, but that decision raised further questions. Roosevelt wanted U.S. troops in combat against German troops as soon as possible.

  • Supreme Air Command: the Development of Royal Air Force Practice in the Second World
    SUPREME AIR COMMAND THE DEVELOPMENT OF ROYAL AIR FORCE COMMAND PRACTICE IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR By DAVID WALKER A Thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham January 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines the development of RAF high command of the Metropolitan Air Force (MAF) during the Second World War. It sheds new light on the re-organisations of the Air Ministry in 1934, the RAF Command structure in 1936, and the tri-service debate in 1937 concerning the RAF proposal to establish a Supreme Air Commander (SAC). It reveals that while frontline expansion created an impetus for re-organisation, it was operational readiness that was the dominant factor in the re-structuring of the RAF. It examines the transition in RAF frontline organization from the mono-functional command system of 1936 to the multi- functional organisation that emerged after 1943 by looking at command structure and practice, personalities, and operational thinking.

  • Merrimack's Admiral Forrest Percival Sherman
    MERRIMACK’S ADMIRAL FORREST PERCIVAL SHERMAN Merrimack, NH had a Navy Admiral and Chief of Naval Operations during and after World War II. Forrest P. Sherman was born October 30, 1896 in the Reeds Ferry section of town to his parents, Frank James Sherman and Grace Gibbs Allen Sherman. He learned to love ships from his grandfather, an old New Bedford MA whaling captain. He was a direct descendant of John and Priscilla Alden of Mayflower fame. His father was the headmaster at the McGaw Normal Institute, in Merrimack, from which Forrest graduated in 1914, before attending the US Naval Academy at Annapolis, MD. He graduated in 1917 with second honors. His class of 1918 graduated early due to the start of WW I. He served on the USS Reid, USS Utah, and Murray. He became a pilot in 1922 and served in naval aviation after that, serving on the USS Lexington, Saratoga and Ranger. He skippered the aircraft carrier Wasp, which was sunk by a Japanese submarine off the Solomon Islands in 1942. He took part in the Japanese surrender aboard the battleship Missouri in Tokyo, returning to Washington as deputy chief of naval operations. When the military was debating about combining all the services, he took a leading role in that debate, working out a compromise in 1947 leading to unification and creating the Department of Defense. He was awarded the Navy Cross, Distinguished Service Medal and Purple Heart among others. He then became commander of the Mediterranean forces as a Vice admiral and was then called, as an Admiral, to take the position of US Chief of Naval Operations, in 1949 the youngest, at age 53, to ever hold that post.

  • The Original Understanding of the President's Defensive War Powers
    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 42, Issue 1 Article 5 The Specter of a Generalissimo: The Original Understanding of the President’s Defensive War Powers Jonathan G. D’Errico∗ ∗ Copyright c by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press (bepress). https://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj NOTE THE SPECTER OF A GENERALISSIMO: THE ORIGINAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRESIDENT’S DEFENSIVE WAR POWERS Jonathan G. D’Errico* ABSTRACT The late twentieth century and early twenty-first century bore witness to a flurry of small-scale conflicts, many of which were initiated by the President of the United States without a formal declaration of war from Congress. A host of legal scholars have decried these hostilities and harshly admonished presidential initiative in war- making. However, this state of affairs is not a modern phenomenon, but rather a fate entirely anticipated by the Framers of the US Constitution. By exploring a plethora of historical authorities and framing-era sources, this Note distills an original understanding of the President’s defensive war powers: the executive’s limited prerogative to unilaterally repel an imminent foreign threat. Before delving into the Framers’ understanding of constitutional war powers, the plain language of the Constitution is scrutinized to discern the basic division of war powers amongst Congress and the President. Next, this Note examines the failures of the Articles of Confederation, which forced the Framers to acknowledge the hazards posed by a weak government unable to protect its national interests. An investigation of debates at the Constitutional Convention of 1787 reveals the Framers’ solution to these earlier shortcomings: constraining the reach of Congress’ war powers so the President would be free to swiftly rebuff imminent foreign aggression.

  • A Fable Ebook
    A FABLE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK William Faulkner | 489 pages | 29 Nov 2011 | Random House USA Inc | 9780307946775 | English | New York, United States A Fable PDF Book Naturally, this is anathema to the military hierarchies on both sides, who tipped off by the Judas among the disciples are already making covert plans to resume hostilities. And it's a hard slog in the beginning. Before Stefan's execution, the Generalissimo tries to convince the corporal that war can never be stopped because it is the essence of human nature. Before killing the corporal, however, the generalissimo tempts the corporal to retire to the countryside and abrogate his mission. The corporal's father is the Allied General who must put things "right" with the war and resume fighting. I feel that Faulkner, strained syntax and diction at his best, stretches it a little too far in this book; perhaps he was trying too hard and it doesn't feel as effortless as some of his best books do he actually coins the word in-insentient here The moral of the story relates to the value of love and acceptance. One of the other twelve men betrays the corporal: the corporal is shot dead, left by his followers, along with two other thieves. This book was hard to find and after reading it I know why. In ancient Greek and Roman education, the fable was the first of the progymnasmata —training exercises in prose composition and public speaking—wherein students would be asked to learn fables, expand upon them, invent their own, and finally use them as persuasive examples in longer forensic or deliberative speeches.
