Tactics and techniques developed by the United States tactical air commands in the European Theatre of Operations.
No full textThe employment of tactical aircraft on a large scale in the European Theater of Operations began shortly before the invasion of Western Europe. In the subsequent nine months to date (March 1945), the tactics of fighter-bomber aircraft evolved on the basis of the experience acquired, changes in ground force requirements, the development of new weapons or of new techniques in the use of old weapons, and changes in defensive measures adopted by the Luftwaffe. It is the purpose of this report to describe in some detail the end result of this evolution, namely, the tactics and techniques currently employed. It should be borne in mind that these have been found to be most practical and most economical under the combat conditions now prevailing in the European Theater of Operations. As conditions in the theater change, as air commands are transferred to other theaters, or as further modifications in equipment are introduced, it is to be expected that new and more efficient methods of air attack will be developed

No full textForeword: Eight months have elapsed since Germany went down in crashing defeat. Many of her war leaders were rounded up and placed in prisoner of war camps where they had ample time to reflect on the external and internal causes for that defeat. Some place the blame on a rotten political system, some on poor military leadership, but foremost among all the reasons emerges the crushing weight of accelerated Allied Air Might which finally beat the material and moral resources of Germany flat. Here are presented some views of Allied Air Power from those who were on the receiving end, their opinions of Germany's major errors in the political and military field, and some suggestions on how they would like to rehabilitate their country
