In recognition of the centennial of flight, air chiefs of some 90 nations convened in Washington, D.C., for a conference and a chance to interact with fellow airmen. At left, the Chief of India’s Air Force, Air Chief Marshal Srinivasapuram Krishnaswamy, addresses the conference. Linguists provided simultaneous translations into six languages, piped in via headsets. Lt. Gen. Gerhard Back, Luftwaffe Chief of Staff, prepares for his talk on post-Sept. 11 air security mea- sures in Europe. Attendees heard addresses from nine air leaders. They were, in order of appearance: ■ Air Marshal Jonah Domfa Wuyep, Nigeria. ■ Air Chief Marshal Kaleem Saadat, Pakistan. ■ Lt. Gen. Gerhard Back, Germany. ■ Gen. Carlos Alberto Rohde, Argentina. ■ Air Chief Marshal S. Krishnaswamy, India. ■ HRH Maj. Gen. Prince Feisal bin Al- Hussein, Jordan. ■ Gen. Richard Wolsztynski, France. ■ Maj. Gen. Leif Simonsen, Denmark. ■ Gen. Yoshimitsu Tsumagari, Japan. 78 AIR FORCE Magazine / November 2003 The chiefs pose for a “class re- union” photo at the conference site. The air leaders had not met as a group since 1997, when they gathered in Las Vegas to honor the 50th birthday of the US Air Force. Their host, Gen. John P. Jumper, USAF Chief of Staff, is in the center of the front row. In the photo at right, the RAF’s Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup converses with HRH Maj. Gen. Prince Feisal bin Al-Hussein of Jordan, who spoke about Gulf regional security issues. The Japanese Air Chief, Gen. Yoshimitsu Tsumagari, spoke about the changing missions of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. Air Chief Marshal Kaleem Saadat of Pakistan told the gathered chiefs that, despite ups and downs, Paki- stan remains a “steadfast ally” of the US in the war on terror.

We make it fly. airbus.com Editorial Europe Needs More Pragmatism The elections to the European Parliament in May were beset with more paradoxes than they have ever been. The strongest party which will take its seats in the plenary chambers in Brus- sels (and, as an expensive anachronism, also in Strasbourg), albeit only for a brief period, is the Brexit Party, with 29 seats, whose programme is implicit in their name. Although EU institutions across the entire continent are challenged in terms of their public acceptance, in many countries the election has been fought with a very great deal of emotion, as if the day of reckoning is dawning, on which decisions will be All or Nothing. Some have raised concerns about the prosperous “European Project”, which they see as in dire need of rescue from malevolent sceptics. Others have painted an image of the decline of the West, which would inevitably come about if Brussels were to be allowed to continue on its present course.

Kings RAF Booklet
Combined Cadet Force Royal Air Force A Commissioning Aide Memoire for the Officer Cadre Version 1 “Where else could you learn to fly aerobatics, visit Royal Air Force Stations, tour foreign countries, play sports from local to international level, learn the skills to lead expeditions, become a target shooting marksman, gain your Duke of Edinburgh Awards, canoe through white water, assist your community, join a band, learn aviation subjects, go caving, parachute, climb, sail, ski...? These and much more are readily available to you as a member of the Air Cadet Organization.” Air Commodore Jon Chitty OBE. Introduction The school cadet organisation originates from 1859, when schools at Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Rossall, Felsted, Hurstpierpoint, Winchester and Tonbridge formed armed uniformed units as part of a national reserve to counter a perceived threat from abroad. By 1900, cadet units were established in over 100 schools across the country and in 1908, these units were re-titled the Officer Training Corps (OTC). In 1948, the OTC was renamed the Combined Cadet Force. The aim of the Combined Cadet Force is to provide a framework through which young people develop the qualities of team work, self-reliance, resourcefulness, leadership and responsibility. A weekly programme of military training is designed to give young people at King’s a chance to exercise responsibility and leadership, to provide them with knowledge of our defence forces, and to encourage those who might be interested in becoming officers of the Armed Services. Uniform members of the Combined Cadet Force will regularly stay on Royal Air Forces bases, therefore it is important that cadets are able to demonstrate an awareness of the structure and organisation of the Royal Air Force, its role in the defence of the United Kingdom and her interests and the operations in which the Royal Air Force are currently engaged.

Historical Perspective on Meade's Actions Following the Battle Of
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE ON MEADE'S ACTIONS FOLLOWING THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG Terrence L. Salada and John D. Wedo Pursuit and destruction of a defeated army is an often unfulfilled wish of both generals and history. Accounts of battles sometimes offer a postscript similar to this: "But General (or Admiral) So-and-So did not pursue and destroy the enemy thereby losing an opportunity to end the war then and there." In many cases, the battles are tremendous victories, such as Borodino in the Napoleonic wars, Shiloh in the American Civil War (referred to hereafter as simply the Civil War), and Midway and El Alamein in World War II (WW2). This is particularly true for the Battle of Gettysburg in the Civil War and the Union commander, Major General George Meade. For almost no other battle is the criticism of no quick pursuit and destruction more injurious to the reputation of the victorious commander. This paper first presents a summary of the arguments pro and con for a pursuit after Gettysburg. It then presents the core of the paper, a meta-analysis of five decisive victories without pursuit and the conditions leading to those decisions. These battles span roughly 130 years, occur on land and sea, and include three wars. The objective is to present Meade's decision in a historical context both in situ (discussing only that battle) and in comparison with other such decisions. The goal is to ascertain whether historiography has been more critical of Meade than others. The hope is that examination 1 of the actions of other commanders of great victories will open the door for a different interpretation of Meade's actions.
