By contrast, the direct bombing of civilians is not only unethical and diplomatically costly, it is also less effective than attacking a nation’s economic infrastructure. The attack of economic targets will exert pressure on the ability of the population both to sustain itself and to produce the weapons, munitions. and supplies required to wage war.","PeriodicalId":178294,"journal":{"name":"Lectures of the Air Corps Tactical School and American Strategic Bombing in World War II","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126913512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After sketching out the early air war in Europe leading up to the entry of the United States, the chapter considers several aspects of the role American strategic bombing played during World War II, including the Combined Bomber Offensive (CBO), and evaluates how well the underlying assumptions of HADPB withstood the harsh reality of war. Finally, the chapter assesses how air power contributed overall to the Allied victory in Europe and analyzes the USAAF experience with HADPB against Japan.","PeriodicalId":178294,"journal":{"name":"Lectures of the Air Corps Tactical School and American Strategic Bombing in World War II","volume":"494 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121266624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Objective of Air Warfare 空战的目的

Muir Fairchild, in “Air Power and Air Warfare,” emphasizes the need for an air force in being at the outset of war. In “Principles of War,” Donald Wilson argues that instead of seeking out immutable principles, the study of war should focus on linking the desired ends to the available means. The true objective of war is not the defeat of the enemy’s armed forces in battle but the overall defeat of the enemy nation such that it sues for peace on favorable terms. Air power is best suited for achieving this objective through massed offensive action. Haywood Hansell, in “The Aim in War,” reasons that war is the means for a nation to achieve its objectives by overcoming the will of the enemy nation’s population. The airplane, unlike surface forces, can directly strike the nation’s will without having to first defeat the enemy’s military forces.","PeriodicalId":178294,"journal":{"name":"Lectures of the Air Corps Tactical School and American Strategic Bombing in World War II","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121177289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In doing so he reviews the detailed planning required to determine the number of bombers and bombs to assign to a target in order to be reasonably confident of success. The key factors that determine the likelihood of hitting the target are the number of aircraft flown/bombs dropped, the altitude of weapons delivery, and the accuracy of the bombsight. Kuter argues that improvement in bombsight accuracy is where the greatest gains in accuracy can be achieved.","PeriodicalId":178294,"journal":{"name":"Lectures of the Air Corps Tactical School and American Strategic Bombing in World War II","volume":"1015 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116250315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Bomber Always Gets Through 炸弹客总能通过

{"title":"The Bomber Always Gets Through","authors":"","doi":"10.2307/j.ctvc77n9f.9","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/j.ctvc77n9f.9","url":null,"abstract":"In this chapter, to support the assertion that air power is inherently offensive, Kenneth Walker, in “Driving Home the Bombardment Attack,” argues that in the air, offense dominates defense, and a well-armed and well-flown massed bomber formation can defend against any air-to-air attack. In “Tactical Offense and Tactical Defense,” Frederick Hopkins takes an inductive approach to the question of whether the bomber will always get through. In World War I, only when German defenders concentrated their fighters to British bombers at a ratio of 1.5 to 1 did British attrition rates become too great for sustained operations. Hopkins considers it unlikely such ratios would be achieved in the future given the defender’s dilemma of having to defend everywhere yet also mass forces against an offensive force that could choose the time and location of attack.","PeriodicalId":178294,"journal":{"name":"Lectures of the Air Corps Tactical School and American Strategic Bombing in World War II","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116948593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Air Power and War 空中力量与战争

Sterling","doi":"10.2307/j.ctvc77n9f.7","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/j.ctvc77n9f.7","url":null,"abstract":"This chapter presents the introductory lecture of the Air Force Course by Harold George entitled “An Inquiry into the Subject ‘War,’” in which he introduces the controversial topic of whether air forces can win wars independently. He considers whether the advent of the airplane has changed the very nature of war or simply added a new weapon to the arsenal. Nations once fought with only armies and navies, where victory over the enemy’s forces was a necessary intermediate objective, an obstacle, the removal of which was required to overcome the enemy’s will to resist. George points out that modern civilization has made it advantageous to change how wars are waged. He argues that an industrial state is internally linked by a series of economic nodes vulnerable to disruption and concludes that air power can now attack the heart of a nation without having to first fight a war of attrition.","PeriodicalId":178294,"journal":{"name":"Lectures of the Air Corps Tactical School and American Strategic Bombing in World War II","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1943-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124687023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
