  • IAF Equipment and Force Structure Requirements to Meet External Threats, 2032
    IAF Equipment and Force Structure Requirements to Meet External Threats, 2032 Vivek Kapur* In keeping with the theme ‘IAF Deep Multidimensional Change 2032: Imperatives and a Roadmap’, this article focuses on the responses to the external threat challenges that are likely to be face by IAF in 2032. These external challenges have been identified to be the individual Chinese and Pakistani threats as well as a combined Sino-Pak threat. The article confines itself to developing a possible force structure only in terms of numbers of combat and support aircraft of various types for 2032. It contains an examination of the currently planned IAF structure for the year 2022 and beyond, against the war-gamed force requirement for winning wars along our borders while retaining capability to project force in areas of national interest beyond our borders. The article underscores the fact that the current plan for the force structure requires to be enhanced to meet the challenges successfully. INTRODUCTION This article follows ‘Challenges for the Indian Air Force: 2032’ (Vol. 7, No. 1, January-March 2013), dealing with the main challenges Indian Air Force (IAF) is likely to face in 2032, when it completes a century. Here, I assess possible responses to the external challenges posed by the Peoples Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) and Pakistan Air Force (PAF). I do so separately in a single-front war scenario against either one and follow it up with a worst case scenario of a simultaneous war against both. I begin * The author was a Research Fellow with the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, New Delhi.

  • A Re-Write of the World War Two Roll of Honour I Spent Much of the Lockdown Last Year Researching and Re-Writing the World War Two Roll of Honour
    A Re-write of the World War Two Roll of Honour I spent much of the lockdown last year researching and re-writing the World War Two Roll of Honour. The reason for a revision 55 years after the original publication is that the Roll of Honour published in 1965, although a wonderful document which paints an affectionate picture of those 161 boys who gave their lived in the Second World War, is sadly short of specific detail of where they served and how they came to lose their lives, although this is not surprising given the shortage of such information at that time. I have updated and extended this moving record, using the extensive information now available on the internet, but also with the assistance of several distinguished and able helpers. The task is complete and the results will, I hope, be available for publication in 2021. There are now 163 names as I have discovered the deaths of Edward Crosse and Cecil Thomas and added their names to the Roll of Honour. All former day boys who joined before 1936 are described as Home Boarders because that name was used until Stanley Powell’s gift of his house to the College. Finally, the fact that the number of names on the Roll of Honour is less than in the First World War cannot pass unnoticed. Perhaps there is significance in the fact that, of all OEs killed in the 1939-45 war, nearly forty per cent were aircrew. Certain it is that our record in the air, for all its grievous cost, gives much cause for pride in the eminence attained and the awards gained by Old Eastbournians.

  • Aircraft Profiles Were Created Originally for Still-To- Be Completed Books on the RAF and the Fleet Air Arm During the Second World War
    This page intentionally left blank PREFACE his document has been created to illustrate my interest in the Second World War and of what can be achieved in the Adobe Creative Suite. All design and layout was accomplished within Adobe InDesign CS2; the artwork using Photoshop 7.0. While this volume is constricted to the aircraft of the Second TWorld War, a topic chosen for its relative diversity. The aircraft of that conflict sported colors and schemes of a variety and aesthetic beauty rarely matched since. Despite its martial bearing, this subject also lends itself to illustrating the cultural bearing of nations at the time. In many instances, the heraldry and badges carried are displayed next to the respective craft. In the case of the British, each of these official unit badges had to be personally approved by the sovereign of that age, and in the following examples, either by King George V or King George VI. Many of these badges represent traditions, past history or take their colors from a local coat of arms. Not only did this link a specific unit to the place of its inception, but served to impart an esprit de corps on its serving men and women. Much of this work could not have been composed without Barry C. Wheeler’s seminal Guide to Military Aircraft Markings, which sparked my interest in aircraft camouflage, coloring and more importantly, squadrons. Most of the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy aircraft profiles were created originally for still-to- be completed books on the RAF and the Fleet Air Arm during the Second World War.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This dissertation examines the role of intelligence in the application of close air support by both the Royal Air Force (RAF) and United States Army Air Force (USAAF) during the campaigns in the Western Desert and Tunisia during the Second World War. It was in this theatre that the foundations for the organization, control, and direction of close air support for the remainder of the war were laid. It was also the first instance of a combined Anglo/American ground campaign, and many of the problems and solutions first appeared there. More importantly, however, it was a theatre in which intelligence was fundamentally important to both ground and air operations. This dissertation begins with an examination of the interwar doctrines of both the RAF and USAAF, and argues that while neither air force had an evolved close air support doctrine, each possessed a theoretical understanding of the subject and had officers capable of creating a doctrine when the time came.
