Striving for Air Superiority
Annotation. "Tactical bombing", Gen. Jimmy Doolittle reportedly observed, "is breaking the milk bottle. Strategic bombing is killing the cow". Most nations have historically chosen between building tactical and strategic air forces; rarely has a state given equal weight to both. The advantages of tactical air power are obvious today as small wars and petty tyrants bedevil us, but in a Cold War world split between continental superpowers, strategic bombing took precedence, with calamitous consequences. In the 1960s, the U.S. Air Force lacked the equipment and properly trained pilots to assure air superiority because the Tactical Air Command (TAC) had become little more than a handmaiden to th...
Following Christ in an Age of Confusion
If you are a young person, you are at an exciting stage of life and God can do great things for you and through you. However, living as a Christian in the twenty first century takes faith, conviction and courage. Our Western World is becoming increasing secular, and people genuinely think that science has disproved the existence of God. Moreover, the message of the bible flies in the face of modern philosophies, ethics and moral standards. This means that to make headway as a Christian can feel like swimming against the tide. The topics included in this book have already been raised by young people in bible class, or in other contexts, or are related to issues which have impacted young people. Keep your bible handy as you read this book and take time to look up the references. The authors have tried to base all the advice given on God's word. Understanding something of the Glory of God and being captivated by His son, the Lord Jesus Christ, will enable you to live a happy, purposeful life and save you from many problems and issues.

Sierra Hotel : flying Air Force fighters in the decade after Vietnam
In February 1999, only a few weeks before the U.S. Air Force spearheaded NATO's Allied Force air campaign against Serbia, Col. C.R. Anderegg, USAF (Ret.), visited the commander of the U.S. Air Forces in Europe. Colonel Anderegg had known Gen. John Jumper since they had served together as jet forward air controllers in Southeast Asia nearly thirty years earlier. From the vantage point of 1999, they looked back to the day in February 1970, when they first controlled a laser-guided bomb strike. In this book Anderegg takes us from "glimmers of hope" like that one through other major improvements in the Air Force that came between the Vietnam War and the Gulf War. Always central in Anderegg's account of those changes are the people who made them. This is a very personal book by an officer who participated in the transformation he describes so vividly. Much of his story revolves around the Fighter Weapons School at Nellis Air Force Base (AFB), Nevada, where he served two tours as an instructor pilot specializing in guided munitions.

Tomcats and Eagles
During the first half of the 1970s, two new fighter aircraft entered operational service in the United States: The Navy's Grumman F-14 Tomcat and the Air Force's McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle. These two aircraft were part of the backbone of the tactical air power of the United States; their introduction was accompanied by comprehensive reforms in pilot training as well as new technologies and weapon systems. In addition to the tactical significance of the two aircraft as innovative fighting platforms, however, their development and deployment should be viewed within a broad geopolitical and geostrategic context. Tovy explains how the F-14 Tomcat and the F-15 Eagle were an integral part of the...
