  • American Calculations of Battleline Strength, 1941-2 Alan D
    American Calculations of Battleline Strength, 1941-2 Alan D. Zimm Il y a une notion populaire que l'attaque aérienne japonaise sur Pearl Harbor a irrévocablement accompli deux choses, l'une matérielle et l'autre doctrinale: elle a annihilé la ligne de bataille américaine, et elle a résolu le débat porte-avions d'entre-deux guerres contre cuirassés et a donc conduit les dirigeants navals à la conclusion ferme que les cuirassés étaient désuets. Ces points de vue ont été évidemment confirmés par le fait que les cuirassés américains n'ont pas été commis au combat purement maritime dans le Pacifique jusqu'à la fin de 1942. Les deux perceptions sont erronées. La plupart des cuirassés américains ont survécu Pearl Harbor. Elles n'ont pas été immédiatement utilisées pour un certain nombre de raisons. Les calculs basés sur la formation reçue par la plupart des cadres supérieurs des États-Unis prouveraient que la ligne de bataille des États-Unis avait perdu sa marge de puissance assurant la défaite de la ligne de bataille japonaise. La logistique a gardé les cuirassés lents, gourmands de nourriture et de carburant, près de leurs sources d'approvisionnement. There is the popular perception that the Japanese air attack on Pearl Harbor irrevocably accomplished two things, one material and one doctrinal: it annihilated the American battleline, and it resolved the interwar carriers versus battleships debate driving naval officers to the firm conclusion that battleships were obsolete. These views were evidently confirmed by the fact that American battleships were not committed to surface- to-surface combat in the Pacific until the end of 1942.

  • View of the British Way in Warfare, by Captain B
    “The Bomber Will Always Get Through”: The Evolution of British Air Policy and Doctrine, 1914-1940 A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Katie Lynn Brown August 2011 © 2011 Katie Lynn Brown. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled “The Bomber Will Always Get Through”: The Evolution of British Air Policy and Doctrine, 1914-1940 by KATIE LYNN BROWN has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Peter John Brobst Associate Professor of History Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT BROWN, KATIE LYNN, M.A., August 2011, History “The Bomber Will Always Get Through”: The Evolution of British Air Policy and Doctrine, 1914-1940 Director of Thesis: Peter John Brobst The historiography of British grand strategy in the interwar years overlooks the importance air power had in determining Britain’s interwar strategy. Rather than acknowledging the newly developed third dimension of warfare, most historians attempt to place air power in the traditional debate between a Continental commitment and a strong navy. By examining the development of the Royal Air Force in the interwar years, this thesis will show that air power was extremely influential in developing Britain’s grand strategy. Moreover, this thesis will study the Royal Air Force’s reliance on strategic bombing to consider any legal or moral issues. Finally, this thesis will explore British air defenses in the 1930s as well as the first major air battle in World War II, the Battle of Britain, to see if the Royal Air Force’s almost uncompromising faith in strategic bombing was warranted.

Once deprived of their Bf 109 escorts, the German bombers were acutely vulnerable to the predations of British Spitfires and Hurricanes. © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com he story of the German Luftwaffe (Air Force) has been an abiding focus of military Thistorians since the end of World War II in 1945. It is not difficult to see why. Like many aspects of the German war machine, the Luftwaffe was a crowning achievement of the German rearmament programme. During the 1920s and early 1930s, the air force was a shadowy organization, operating furtively under the tight restrictions on military development imposed by the Versailles Treaty. Yet through foreign-based aircraft design agencies, civilian air transport and nationalistic gliding clubs, the seeds of a future air force were nevertheless kept alive and growing in Hitler’s new Germany, and would eventually emerge in the formation of the Luftwaffe itself in 1935. The nascent Luftwaffe thereafter grew rapidly, its ranks of both men and aircraft swelling under the ambition of its commander-in-chief, Hermann Göring.

  • I Bf 109E-4, Wnr. 5375, Flown by Hptm. Wilhelm
    ADLERANGRIFF in Scandinavia and focused on action over eastern Scotland. With bases in Western Europe, Luftotte 2 concentrated their efforts on eastern England and Luftotte 3 was to focus on western England and Wales. Fighter wings armed with single engined aircraft (Jagdgeschwader) during the spring of 1940 were taking delivery of the modernized Bf 109E-4, which were equ-i pped with a pair of 20mm MG FF/M cannon in the wings, instead of the MG FF that was in the Bf 109E-3. The redesigned cockpit canopy allowed for the installation of a larger armoured plate behind the pilot’s head, and for the easier installation of an armoured windscreen. However, this version still did not offer the option of a long range tank under the fuselage. This resulted in limited range for the Bf 109s used against England, and the Bf 109E-7, which did accommodate a drop tank, did not come into service until after the Battle of Britain, in November 1940. The older E-3, with two cannon and two 7.92mm machine guns, and the ‘light’ E-1 version, armed with four of the 7.92mm guns, were, surprisingly, in production until August 1940. To facilitate the Bf 109’s use as a ghter-bomber, German aircraft manufacturers were producing the E-1/B and the E-4/B, equipped with fuselage racks for 250kg bombs. Another modication, albeit less common, was in the installation of the DB 601N engine, rated at 1175k. So-equipped aircraft were designated Bf 109E-3/N or E-4/N, and required the use of 100octane fuel, C3.
