Buying Aircraft
"Buying Aircraft: Materiel Procurement for the Army Air Forces" offers the reader a liberal education in military procurement.

Professor Holley recognizes the broad sweep and interrelationship of political, economic, legal, and military pro...
Ideas and Weapons
Professor Irving Brinton Holley, Jr.'s "Ideas and Weapons" remains one of the finest texts ever written on the history of warfare and weapons acquisition. Given the enormous destructive capacity of precision weapons in the modern era, and the inherent vulnerabilities of modern society to high technology attack, this book is more relevant today than when it was first written, in the midst of the nuclear age. As Profession Holley amply demonstrates, since antiquity the side with superior weapons has almost inevitably emerged victorious from conflict. With the rapid development of science and technology from 1945 onward, the history of the Air Force itself has, in many ways, been the history of...

Ideas and Weapons
Given the enormous destructive capacity of precision weapons in the modern era and the inherent vulnerabilities of modern society to high technology attack, this book is more relevant today than when it was first written in the midst of the nuclear age, in 1953. Remaining one of the finest texts ever written on the history of warfare and weapons acquisition, this is a thorough and reliable work that should be a standard reference for acquisition managers and decision-makers, providing a guide to informed decision-making that reflects the experience and lessons of the past.

Technology and Military Doctrine
This compilation of essays includes copies of speeches and articles that Dr. I. B. Holley Jr., Major General, USAFR, retired, has delivered and written throughout his career as a military officer and scholar of military history and thought. In these essays, Holley primarily addresses the need for the Air Force to adapt its doctrine and the processes of formulating and disseminating that guidance as the technology of air and space warfare improves. Dr. Holley2s common message throughout is that the process of how the Air Force develops its doctrine and preaches and teaches that doctrine to its Airmen is as important or, perhaps, more so than its content.
