From Wikipedia: "The Third Air Force (3 AF) is a numbered air force of the United States Air Forces in Europe-Air Forces Africa (USAFE-AFAFRICA). Its headquarters is Ramstein Air Base, Germany. It is responsible for all U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Africa operations and support activities in the U.S. European Command and U.S. Africa Command's areas of responsibility. One of the four original pre World War II numbered air forces, it was established on 26 March 1941, at Tampa, Florida with a mission of air defense of the Southeastern United States and Gulf Coast regions. During the war, its primary mission became the organization and training of combat units prior to their deployment to the overseas combat air forces. Good. Cover has some wear and soiling.

This supplements SACR 51-1 of 18 September 1961. This supplement supersedes SACR 51-1/15AF Sup 6, 31 January 1960. The purpose was to provide a source of information for the description and location of the W-460 Hoquiam Bombing and Gunnery Range and to establish policies and procedures for its use. Includes information on scheduling procedures, patterns to be used, range control procedures, and safety procedures. Mojave Gunnery Range "C" encompasses approximately 20,908 acres of desert in Kern County, California. The site is located east of Mojave, California, and overlaps the southwest portion of California City. In August 1944, the Department of the Navy acquired land near Mojave to conduct aerial bombing, strafing and air-to-ground rocket range training. The 11th Naval District developed a training area consisting of six stationary ground targets and one mobile ground target that were used by pilots stationed out of Marine Corps Air Station, Mojave. After World War II, Marine Corps Air Station, Mojave became Naval Air Station, Mojave, and the Mojave Gunnery Range "C" training area was used by Naval Ordnance Test Station, Inyokern; Naval Air Station, Mojave; and the U.S. Army to test and evaluate pilotless aircraft. Naval Air Station, Mojave closed in January 1947 and the training area remained idle until 1951 when Marines from El Toro used the air field as an auxiliary field. The air field was renamed Marine Corps Auxiliary Air Station, Mojave and was referred to as an Advanced Gunnery Range. In December 1958, the leases for the training area were terminated and in January 1959 Marine Corps Auxiliary Air Station, Mojave officially closed. Today, most of the former Mojave Gunnery Range "C" training area consists of undeveloped land owned by private entities with small portions owned by Kern County and the Bureau of Land Management. Off-highway vehicle recreation, small arms shooting practice and seasonal sheep grazing are conducted on the undeveloped land. Illegal dumping also occurs on portions of the former training area. The northeastern corner of the former Mojave Gunnery Range "C" boundary extends into California City, which is developed for residential and commercial use. The southwestern portion of the range is owned by the Hyundai-Kia North American Proving Grounds, which operates an automobile test track on the property. The Corps of Engineers began investigating the former gunnery range in 1999 through the Formerly Used Defense Sites, or FUDS, Program. An Administrative Record containing project documents and reports for Mojave Gunnery Range "C" is available at the Kern County Library, California City Branch, and at the Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District office. The Mojave Gunnery Range "C" FUDS property has been divided into the following eight projects: the Bombing Target; Strafing Target #71; Bombing Target "F"; Rocket Range 101; Bombing Range #73; APA Areas 5 & 6; APA Area C; and APA Areas E, E1, and E2. This website provides information about each project. Three-hole punched, partially double-punched.…

Three-hole punched. Zustand: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Format is 8 inches by 10.5 inches. 2 pages. Printed on pink paper. Minor wear and soiling noted. This supplements SACR 51-1 of 18 September 1961. This supplement supersedes SACR 51-1/15AF Sup 2 31 January 190, and C1, 31 January 1960. The purpose of this supplement is to provide a source of information for the description and location of the W-281 Point Arguello Offshore Gunnery Range and to establish policies and procedures for its use. The guidance addressed routine training sorties, special missions, range control procedures and safety procedures. The former Point Arguello Radar Site B-30 is located 10 miles southwest of Lompoc in Santa Barbara County, California. The radar site is a restored Army Air Forces Aircraft Warning Service (AWS) facility. The site is now a part of Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB). War Department interest was originally obtained by lease on 28.86 acres in 1941. The property was leased from the Sudden Estate Company, which had some farm buildings on the site. The purpose of the site was to establish a secret long-range radar site along the Central California coast during World War II. The initial installation was an SCR-270B radar facility located just east of Red Roof Canyon and operated by the AWS. Some sources indicate that an SCR-271 series radar set may have also also operated at this site. The site was garrisoned by the 654th Signal Aircraft Warning Company and later the 659th Signal Aircraft Warning Company. Both units were under control of the Los Angeles Control Group. The facility was used until the end of World War II and the two leases were terminated on 24 July 1947 and 15 June 1948. The site was reacquired by US Air Force in 1966, when the Sudden Ranch was purchased and incorporated into VAFB. A parking lot and part of the northwestern facilities of the Space Shuttle complex at Space Launch Complex 6 were built over the radar site in 1980. None of the former facilities have been in evidence during the last 30 years. The Army reportedly conducted a full restoration of the site following the radar station's deactivation after World War II.…

The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is a four-engined heavy bomber developed in the 1930s for the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC). Relatively fast and high-flying for a bomber of its era, the B-17 was used primarily in the European Theater of Operations and dropped more bombs than any other aircraft during World War II. It is the third-most produced bomber of all time, behind the four-engined Consolidated B-24 Liberator and the multirole, twin-engined Junkers Ju 88. It was also employed as a transport, antisubmarine aircraft, drone controller, and search-and-rescue aircraft. In a USAAC competition, Boeing's prototype Model 299/XB-17 outperformed two other entries but crashed, losing the initial 200-bomber contract to the Douglas B-18 Bolo. Still, the Air Corps ordered 13 more B-17s for further evaluation, then introduced it into service in 1938. The B-17 evolved through numerous design advances but from its inception, the USAAC (later, the USAAF) promoted the aircraft as a strategic weapon. It was a fast, high-flying, long-range bomber with heavy defensive armament at the expense of bombload. It developed a reputation for toughness based upon stories and photos of badly damaged B-17s safely returning to base. The B-17 saw early action in the Pacific War, where it conducted raids against Japanese shipping and airfields. But it was primarily employed by the USAAF in the daylight strategic bombing campaign over Europe. "Pilot Training Manual for the B-17 Flying Fortress", which was issued to B-17 pilots during World War II and was considered to be the "textbook of the B-17". The manual begins with a brief history of the B-17, and then goes on to explain to the pilot the duties and responsibilities of each of his crew members. Following this is a series of topics dealing with the characteristics and operation of the B-17 itself and how the crew should handle various emergency situations. From the Foreword: This manual is the text for your training as a B-17 pilot and airplane commander. The Air Forces' most experienced training and supervisory personnel have collaborated to make it a complete exposition of what your pilot duties are, how each duty will be performed, and why it must be performed in the manner prescribed. The techniques and procedures described in this book are standard and mandatory. In this respect the manual serves the dual purpose of a training checklist and a working handbook. Use it to make sure that you learn everything described herein. Use it to study and review the essential facts concerning everything taught. Such additional self-study and review will not only advance your training, but will alleviate the burden of your already overburdened instructors. This training manual does not replace the Technical Orders for the airplane, which will always be your primary source of information concerning the B-17 so long as you fly it. This is essentially the textbook of the B-17. Used properly, it will enable you to utilize the pertinent Technical Orders to even greater advantage. This appears to be reproduction, due to the white borders on the pages.…

This supplements SACR 51-1 of 18 September 1961. To provide a source of information for the description and location of the R-2301, R-2304, R-2305 Luke Air Force Base, Gunnery and Bombing Complex, Ranges 1 and 2 which are available for Fifteenth air Force/SAC visual bombing actual releases, and to disseminate the policies and procedures for the use of these ranges. This includes information on bomb run procedures. Special Instructions were also included. Luke Air Force Base (IATA: LUF, ICAO: KLUF, FAA LID: LUF) is a United States Air Force base located 7 miles (6.1 nmi; 11 km) west of the central business district of Glendale, in Maricopa County, Arizona, United States. It is about 15 miles (13 nmi; 24 km) west of Phoenix, Arizona. Luke AFB is a major training base of the Air Education and Training Command (AETC), training pilots in the F-16 Fighting Falcon. On 31 March 2011 it was announced that the F-35 Lightning II would replace the F-16 as the primary training aircraft at Luke, although the date of deployment of the new aircraft to Luke and reorganization plans were not announced. On 16 July 2013, the Air Force announced that Luke AFB will house a total of 144 F-35A Lightning IIs. 4514th CCTS North American F-100F-10-NA Super Sabre 56-3917, about 1962. To MASDC 31 July 1979 as FE0567. Converted to QF-100F By the end of 1957, ATC basing structure had changed considerably as the result of tactical commitments, decreased student load, and fund shortages. During 1958 ATC discontinued its Flying Training and Technical Training Air Force. As a result, Luke AFB was transferred to Tactical Air Command. This reassignment came about as the result of a USAF-directed study of the feasibility of putting combat crew training under the appropriate zone of interior operational commands. With the transfer to TAC, the ATC 3600th FTW was re-designated as the 4510th Combat Crew Training Wing, and flying training at Luke was changed to the F-100 Super Sabre.…
