Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Book is clean with a square, tight binding and bright, white pages. Book has minor wear on the edges that is difficult to see in the scans. Every novice military flier learns quickly that, in air-to-air combat, the unseen opponent is the greatest threat. An enemy pilot who slips onto your tail,…your "six o'clock," is the one who is most likely to shoot you down. We believe there may be an underappreciated, if not invisible, ground threat to the bases used by the United States Air Force (USAF); as our title suggests, the classic fighter pilot dictum, "Keep checking six," may be as applicable on the ramp and on the runways as it is at 20,000 feet. Presenting the results of an investigation of the evolving ground threat to USAF bases, this report discusses past, present, and possible future threat obiectives and tactics. It should be of interest to Air Force Security Police in training, operations, and policy positions. It should also be of interest to those responsible for planning the defense of USAF bases and to others within the Air Force who have a responsibility for ensuring the availability of airpower as a ready instrument in the defense of U.S. interests. The work supporting this report was conducted as part of a larger study on asymmetric strategies that future adversaries might use to counter U.S. airpower. That study was done under the auspices of the Strategy, Doctrine, and Force Structure program of Project AIR FORCE and was sponsored by the Director of Plans, Headquarters, United States Air Force (AF/XOX).

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 165 pages. Book is clean with a square, tight binding and bright, white pages. Book has two stamps on title page from a previous owner. Book has minor wear on the edges that is difficult to see in the scans. Numerous cases over the past 50 years illustrate the vulnerability of aircraft on the gr…ound. In 1941, Commonwealth airfields on the island of Crete were lost to German forces despite advance knowledge of the attack. A series of successful raids on Axis airfields in North Africa by British special forces between 1940 and 1943 affected the outcome of the entire campaign. During the Vietnam War, U.S. air bases faced the most serious and sustained threat in military history. In all, small forces using unsophisticated weapons have destroyed or damaged over 2,000 aircraft in 645 attacks during this 50-year period. Snakes in the Eagle's Nest provides the first comprehensive look at air base attacks from 1940 to 1992, with in-depth focus on three case-study regions. In this book, Ala Vick explores the objectives, tactics, and outcomes of ground attacks to identify the most effective ways of defending air bases. The historical insights he provides will be interest to readers seeking not only to understand the nature of airfield attacks but why they will continue to be a threat in future conflicts. About the Author Alan Vick is a member of the research staff at RAND and has previously written on military strategy, arms control, and crisis management issues.

Paperback. Condition: New. The recent spate of urban operations in Panama, Somalia, Haiti, and Bosnia has motivated the Department of Defense to put considerable effort into identifying and correcting shortcomings in the United States' ability to successfully conduct urban military operations. Project AIR FORCE undertook a year-…long investigation of the role that aerospace forces can play in joint urban military operations. This study sought to help the USAF better understand how the urban physical, social, and political environment constrains aerospace operations, to identify key operational tasks that aerospace forces can help accomplish, and to develop new concepts of operation, including enabling technologies, to enhance the contribution that aerospace forces make to joint urban operations. Among the study's key findings are the following: --Urban areas, with their physical and social complexity, are extremely difficult to operate in. Where possible, U.S. forces should avoid them. --Where urban operations cannot be avoided, aerospace forces can make important contributions to the joint team (air, land, sea, and space forces working together): detecting adversary forces in the open; attacking them in a variety of settings; and providing close support, navigation and communications infrastructure, and resupply for friendly forces. --Offboard sensors for manned aircraft, three-dimensional urban mapping, Global Positioning System relays on unmanned aerial vehicles, and limited-effects weapons have the potential to enhance the ability of aerospace forces to detect and attack adversary forces when rules of engagement are highly restrictive, such as in peace operations, noncombatant evacuations, and humanitarian assistance. Their development should be encouraged. --Automated integration and pattern analysis of inputs from large networks of sensors that use acoustic, infrared, seismic, chemical, and radar detectors will be necessary to interpret the massive volume of activity found in most urban areas. --Practical limitations of automated fusion, coupled with political concerns about collateral damage and civilian casualties, will dictate at least one human decisionmaker remaining in the loop between sensor and shooter, making human-machine interfaces a critical information-architecture issue. This report should be of interest to Air Force personnel in operations, plans, intelligence, and acquisition organizations, and to aviators in the sister services. It is the authors' hope that it will help soldiers, marines, and sailors better appreciate the contribution that aerospace forces can make to joint urban operations.

Contact seller5-star sellerArchive of scripts and revision pages for 56 episodes of the detective television series dated variously between 1958 and 1960. Copies belonging to screenwriter Lewis Reed, with his manuscript name on the front wrapper of each episode. 36 scripts contain pink, blue, white, and yellow revision pages, many bound separately and lai…d in at the rear. Included are screenplays for nearly half of the 114-episode run of the series, starring the sophisticated, sharp-dressed, jazz-loving private eye Peter Gunn, played by Craig Stevens. Probably the only television show to ever rival the best films noir of the big screen, with minimalist dialogue and bleak, open-ended conclusions that challenge even the best of television today. Creator Blake Edwards would use the success of the series to jump start his film career, going on to direct "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (1961) and the "Pink Panther" film series starring Peter Sellers. Noted composer Henry Mancini won an Emmy and two Grammy Awards for the show's well-loved theme song, including the first Grammy ever awarded for Album of the Year. Scripts in Very Good to Near Fine condition. Mimeograph on eye-rest green or white stock.
