Mason Patrick and the Fight for Air Service Independence
Scranton Pennsylvania U.S.A.: Smithsonian Inst Pr 2001. 186pp. "Mason Patrick began his military aviation career in 1918 when Gen. John J. Pershing selected him to command the Air Service of the American Expeditionary Force at a critical juncture in World War I. Patrick one of Pershing's former West Point classmates and an engineer by training did not earn his wings until 1923 but by virtue of his intellect political acumen and organizational skills he transformed the Air Service and set it on the path to independence from the U.S. Army. In this assessment of Patrick's aviation career Robert P.

No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. Clean square tight and unmarked. Sharp corners. Illustrated with 8 pages of photos. Chapter notes. Bibliography. Index.

Pershing selected him to command the Air Service of the American Expeditionary Force at a critical juncture in World War I. Patrick one of Pershing's former West Point classmates and an engineer by training did not earn his wings until 1923 but by virtue of his intellect political acumen and organizational skills he transformed the Air Service and set it on the path to independence from the U.S. Army. In this assessment of Patrick's aviation career Robert P. White credits Patrick not his more vocal second-in-command Billy Mitchell with ensuring the survival of the Air Service at a time when it faced critical internal and external pressures. While Mitchell played the role of the attention-grabbing publicist Patrick skillfully functioned as the true leader of the Air Service expertly maneuvering behind the scenes and in selected public forums to ultimately ensure the creation of the Air Corps. Patrick took a gradualist approach to the question of the Air Service's status seeing autonomy within the U. S. Army as an attainable goal that would serve as a stepping-stone to full independence later. He was certainly not averse to a good fight; the confrontations and challenges he faced to ensure the continued viability of the nation's airpower demonstrate his determination intelligence wit and charm. One of the first aviation officers to recognize the full potential of airpower during war and peacetime Patrick was remarkably successful in gaining support for the three legs of his aviation triangle: military aviation commercial aviation and the aviation-manufacturing base. Patrick's tenure as chief of the Air Service and later the Air Corps made possible the emergence of an independent Air Force.". First Printing of the First Edition. Hard Cover. Brown cloth spine/yellow board/Jacket not priced or clipped. 8vo. x 186pp. . Smithsonian Institution Press Hardcover

Whiting Charles.
THE THREE-STAR BLITZ: THE BAEDEKER RAIDS AND THE START OF TOTAL WAR 1942-1943.
London: Leo Cooper 1987. 184 pp large 8vo 9 1/2" H. B&w photographs. "The German attempt to break the morale of the British by bombing London in 1940 did not succeed so two years later they switched their targets to the undefended cathedral cities of Exeter Bath York Canterbury and Norwich cities marked in Karl Baedeker's famous guidebook with three stars. Hence the name by which they came to be known. This time the British were not slow to retaliate and the punishment rained down upon the unfortunate people of Hamburg and Cologne surpassed in ferocity anything that had gone before. From now on the morale of the civil population came to be regarded as a legitimate target in the battle to break the enemy's will. Charles Whiting describes in detail the Baedeker raids on the cathedral cities of England and the retaliatory raids on Germany illustrating his story with the recollections of many of those who survived the raids. He analyses the personalities of the Top Brass on both sides who authorized the bombings and shows how the change in attitude to indiscriminate bombing gradually came about. It is a gruesome yet fascinating story told with all the vividness which readers of Charles Whiting's books will have come to expect." One corner with very minor bump. Dust jacket has light browning at top and bottom of spine and at top edge light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds very light rubbing. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good-.
