Laviadia, Greece, 1824, was orphaned at the age of four when his parents were killed during the Greek revolt against Turkey. He was adopted by J. P. Miller, an American who was fighting with the Greeks. Brought to his adopted father's home in Montpelier, Vermont, in 1828, he studied law, and was admitted to the Vermont bar in 1845. In 1846 he moved to Wisconsin, settling on a farm near Oshkosh where he also practiced law. During the Mexican War, he served as colonel of the Wisconsin militia. He was state assemblyman in 1853, served on the state board of public works in 1854, and was for many years a member of the Winnebago County Board. In 1890 he was elected to Congress, and served one term, 1891 - 1893.

In fine condition. Paper evenly age toned else an excellent copy, practically unused. ~ FIRST EDITION. Lucas' work was exceptionally successful. In 1925 (some bibliographies say 1923) it was translated into English as "The evolution of tactical ideas in France and Germany during the war of 1914-1918" and apparently also published by Berger-Levrault, a rather uncommon event. In French it went through several editions, with the 2nd edition appearing directly the next year (1924); the 3rd in 1925, and the 4th edition, apparently the last, in 1932. Copies of the present FIRST EDITION are extremely rare as apparently were printed in a small run. OCLC does not locate a single institutional holding worldwide of this edition. H-4 IN.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. During the last few years, the United States Air Force has been involved in an unparalleled number of peacetime contingency operations. Air National Guard (ANG) tanker and airlift assets have been heavily engaged in these operations. However, the authors of this study point out that the same level of activity is not found in the ANG fighter force even though many of these units have demonstrated a willingness to participate. Lieutenant Colonels Lucas and Johnson argue that US reliance on the Air National Guard will increase as declining defense budgets, a shrinking active fighter force, and a vigorous National Security Strategy of Engagement and Enlargement characterize the future. As a result, the authors contend that it is imperative to explore new options for increasing the availability of the Guard fighter force for peacetime contingency use. Air National Guard Fighters in the Total Force examines current "work arounds" used to increase guard fighter availability and then explores a method to provide a long-term solution. The study presents and analyzes the pros and cons of three possible options: (1) increasing active duty manning in all Guard fighter units, (2) increasing active duty manning in only a few select Guard fighter units, and (3) moving most, if not all, of the fighters out of the Guard and into the active duty force. If current trends play out, the US military will benefit from having thought about, discussed, and debated this problem. In their insightful study, Lieutenant Colonels Lucas and Johnson provide a fresh approach to finding a solution. This item is printed on demand.
