Relative effectiveness of various types of bombs and fuzes.
No full textIn August 1944 the AAF Evaluation Board, recently arrived in the European Theater of Operations, formulated plans for the organization of "field teams" to analyze, in combat areas, the effectiveness of the various bombs and fuzes against different types of targets. An attempt is made in this report to analyze the findings of the AAF Evaluation Board, as well as of other organizations; to group samples alike with regard to either the target or the bomb-fuze combination used; and where the number of samples is adequate to generalize on the experience. However, it is believed that the basic principles outlined herein will remain valid, and that this report may serve as a point of departure for others of a similar kind. Most important, it is believed that the conclusions that can be drawn from the experience thus far accumulated completely justify the continuance of the "field" method of investigation on the effectiveness of air weapons against targets. Subjects in this document include information on buildings, bridges, rail centers, rail cutting, heavy concrete structures, open gun positions, and tunnels, wire barriers, ammunition areas, and surface vessels

The Western Task Force, composed of this great assemblage of ships and embarked Fifth Army forces, landed in pre-dawn attack over assault beaches in the Gulf of Salerno, against an enemy well-established upon a continent, suitably deployed to frustrate the amphibious invasion, and having in his possession well-ordered interior lines of communication which had been used to supply his war needs over a period of years. The Western Naval Task Force was assigned the tasks of planning and executing the special amphibious training and the safe seaborne movements of allied invasion army elements to the Gulf of Salerno; of destroying any enemy forces which threatened the execution of the plan of operations; of landing them over selected assault beaches in coordinated attack; of rendering effective naval gunfire support to the military operations ashore, and of ensuring an ever-increasing degree of orderly logistic maintenance and build-up to the landed military forces as they were being firmly established in the original beachhead, while being joined with the Eighth Army and while proceeding to carry out further operations against the enemy.

Shepherd of the seas: air/sea rescue in the 8th Air Force.
No full textThe 65th Fighter Wing has had a vital part in the control of every Eighth Air Force mission since the Fourth of July, 1943. A constant phase of this control has been for air/sea rescue.

They have saved a very great number of lives, shepherding hundreds of hurt aircraft safely home to England and bringing back nearly a thousand men lost at sea. In this booklet the Wing intelligence officer, Lt. Col. Kennedy, has recorded some of the story of how they have done this
