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. 410 0$aAviation & air power. 410 0$aKentucky scholarship online. 606 $aAir forces$xOfficers$xEducation 606 $aAir power$xStudy and teaching 606 $aMilitary education 615 0$aAir forces$xOfficers$xEducation. 615 0$aAir power$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aMilitary education. 676 $a355.007 702 $aWakelam$b Randall T$g(Randall Thomas),$f1953- 702 $aVarey$b David$f1966- 702 $aSica$b Emanuele$f1975- 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910590984503321 996 $aEducating air forces$92913495 997 $aUNINA
