As a result, these services have had to quickly develop methods of preparing aviators to operate in conditions ranging from peace or routine security to full-scale war. The first book to address the history and scope of air power professionalization through learning programs, 'Educating Air Forces' offers valuable new insight into strategy and tactics worldwide. Here, a group of international experts examine the philosophies, policies, and practices of air service educational efforts in the United States, France, Italy, Germany, Australia, Canada, and the UK. The contributors discuss the founding, successes, and failures of European air force learning programs between the Great War and World War II.Aviation & air power.Kentucky scholarship online.Air forcesOfficersEducationAir powerStudy and teachingMilitary educationAir forcesOfficersEducation.Air powerStudy and teaching.Military education.355.007Wakelam Randall T(Randall Thomas),1953-Varey David1966-Sica Emanuele1975-StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910590984503321Educating air forces2913495UNINA
