Defense Reform and Technology: Tactical Aircraft

by Herzog, Serge
No customer reviews yet ISBN 9780275946289 Praeger

To capture the defense reform debate surrounding the proper application of high technology in military systems, this study focuses on tactical aircraft, an area epitomizing cutting-edge technology. Air combat history is revisited (including the 1991 Persian Gulf War) to confirm, reject, or qualify positions advocating certain technologies in tactical aviation. Emphasis is placed on enduring combat ideas and aircraft design principles. The interaction between mission requirements, inventory composition, and aircraft design is discussed to illustrate the dynamics of constrained choice that enters acquisition decisions. The relevance of reform arguments in the post-Cold War era is assessed, including the impact of political and economic constraints on future force-mix options, the shift from NATO-centered contingencies to Third World Low Intensity Conflict (LIC), and the threat of conventional arms proliferation.

Southey on Nelson: The Life of Nelson by Robert Southey
<p>LIVES THAT NEVER GROW OLD</p> <p>A radical new series - edited by Richard Holmes - that recovers the great classical tradition of English biography. Every book is a biographical masterpiece, still thrilling to read and vividly alive.</p> <p>This short, brilliant, action-packed biography appeared only eight years after Nelson's death at the Battle of Trafalgar (a scene unforgettably described). It helped transform Nelson into the most popular wartime hero that Britain has ever placed on top of a column.</p> <p>It first gave currency to the proverbial stories of his courage and exhibitionism, from the 'blind eye' at Copenhagen, to 'Kiss me, Hardy' and the scandal of 'Beloved Emma' at Naples. It was written by the romantic poet and historian Robert Southey, a one-time radical who was converted to patriotism by Nelson's shining (though not 'untarnished') example.</p>
